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.

My adult son also has these same symptoms and yesterday his Dr said he has a sinus infection.

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.
