A member asked:

Ear ache sore throat slight headache if i brush my hair?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear exam needed: It could be a viral throat infection, but an earache could indicate a middle ear infection which requires oral antibiotic treatment. A throat culture should also be done before starting antibiotics. Discomfort on hair brushing is nonspecific.
