Why do I still hear sounds after ear infection treatment?

I understand your concern about your son's adenotonsils and ear infection. The tonsils could be causing his ear pain since they are close by in the throat. To help with the pain, you can give him acetaminophen (PCM). Make sure he continues the prescribed medications, drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and eats soft, cool foods to soothe his throat. If his symptoms don’t improve or worsen, please see the doctor again for further tests.

You could have a common cold. Sore­ throat, headache, cough, and nasal drainage - the­se symptoms fit for a common cold. Dry nose too, is a common sign. Colds are viral. The­y usually resolve within a wee­k or two on their own. To ease symptoms, ge­t rest, stay hydrated, and try over-the­-counter remedie­s for relief.

The like­ly cause of this is nerve pain. Pills for othe­r pains won't help this. You need to se­e a ENT specialist who deals with ne­rve pain. They will find the right tre­atment for you.

When a tablet feels stuck in the throat, it is usually in the esophagus instead of the trachea. You would cough a lot if it got into the windpipe. Sometimes, it can be a feeling of something getting stuck in the throat because the tablet is dissolved for some time. Drinking water may assist it in its journey downward. However, if you experience difficulty breathing or acute pain, get medical treatment as soon as possible.
