It depends on the age of your son.

The cough and ear ache together are indicative of a ear, nose and throat infection.

Does your son cough only when he is laying down or all the time.


how long ago did this start.

Does the child have a raised temprature.

these are the questions that need to be answered before a remedy can be recommended.


I can suggest giving him honey to soothe the throat, and take him immediately to a health care provider to have his throat and ear checked for infections, and also check if he has a post nasal drip.

Regards,
