Dear FriendWelcome to Chat Doctor. I am Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Pain in ear is not a symptom of dengue. He might be suffering from:1. Acute Tonsillitis/ Pharyngitis2. Ear Infection- Otis Media. I would advise you to get it evaluated by a doctor, if required antibiotic like Augmenting would be started. Till then continue cold sponging and Paracetamol as on when required basis. This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
