Suggestions on ear pain during bacterial based cold though dr says ears look "okay". taking antibiotic clindamycin. could it be causing the ear pain?

Congestion: The ear pain is likely due to impaired drainage by the eustachian tubes. Decongestant (pseudoephedrine or afrin) can often help improve and reduce pain. Steam vaporizer with Vicks in it can also help. Tylenol (acetaminophen) to control pain. Feel better!
