My adult son has been very sick all week and much worse over the weekend.  Today he went to the Dr and was diagnosed with a ear infection.  The thing is, he was not complaining of ear pain.  He was complaining of a sore throat, muscle aches and fever.  They did test for strep, negative, they told him his throat hurts from post nasal drip. 

I am very worried.  I have a personal friend whose son died from the flu.  My son is on a antobiotic now but still no earache.

I had an inner ear infection once.  No pain at all.  It caused balance issues.  I could not get up out of the chair really fast or I would lose my balance.  People at work thought I was drinking because I didn't walk straight down the corridors.  It took a very long time to go away with antibiotics.

Thank you for responding!  He also got a note for staying off work for 3 days.  He works at a restaurant.  The DR even made my son call his work in his presence!  Maybe that is it.

At least he can rest for the next few days.  I hope he feels better soon.

This throat comfort tea with honey works really good for a sore throat.

@Warrior2022We just had that type of sickness too but in Canada.They called it a type of super cold not a flu.You feel bad like you have the flu and tired for about two weeks.We darank lots of lemon and ginger tea with a tsp of manuka honey until we got better.We seemed to pull through faster than most.The coughing is really bad after a few days and you can cough until you choke...nasty cold.
