Good morning. Im about 4-5 weeks pregnant. I just found out 2 days ago. I had the flu all last week. My ears have been clogged all this week and I cant hear! Now from the flu I have a cough, and can bearly speak (laryngitis). Is this all normal and can I take anything for my ears and voice?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the presence of ear clogging, laryngitis,cough after the flu is seen commonly. It needs symptomatic treatment like decongestants, any cough syrups etc. Take lukewarm water for Chat Doctor. Flu is caused by a wide range of viruses. Flu sometimes might cause secondary bacterial infection where in you might need a course antibiotic. So I suggest you to consult doctor for physical examination to rule out any bacterial infection. Nothing to worry. It will subside mostly with symptomatic and supportive treatment. Hope this helps. Best regards...
