I've had a very heavy cold for maybe a week, pounding head, cough, soreish throat, yucky taste in mouth, but it has also involved earache/pressure inside ear, tinnitus, achy hips and muscles.
The earache was at one side but eased off after a couple of days, but it has now started in the other ear.
I do have sinus congestion fairly regularly but I've never had the ear/tinnitus pain, and it usually tends to improve when I use nasal sprays and have painkillers, however whatever I have currently seemed to get worse after I had started to feel a bit better.
Local chemist didn't have tests so I haven't done one, but curious to know if others have had ear pain, or should I be speaking to the GP?
