I have pain in my ear, along with some fluid. i do have a cold, where i can feel mucus breaking up when i cough. should i try otc's or just see my doc?

Just a thought: TRY some NASAL SPRAY for example AFRIN spray. This will shrink the swelling blocking your ears from equalizing the pressure by OPENING these small tubes( Eustachian Tubes ) This should relieve the pressure/pain and help the ear pain! TRY IT! Hope it helps Dr Z
