Had severe earache. during the treatment i started to have cough with black spiting. till today i am suffering from it. what problem do i have ?

Dr. Klaus d Lessnau answered

Specializes in Pulmonary Critical Care

Difficult to say: There is an ear-cough reflex that may explain it. Check with the doc who performed the treatment whatever that was. Make sure there is only one disease and not two. I suspect that it will go away but better be safe.
