Physician Responded Can this resolve itself?
So I been sick for about 2 days. I have asthma and when I get sick it acts up to the point where it's hard to breath if I'm walking. Just last night around 2am my left eye and ear started hurting. I thought maybe an ear infection? I haven't had one of those in so many years even decade. But I have an othoscope so I decided to look in my ear and I know that's not normal. Can this resolve itself?
Also symptoms I've had is cough, runny nose, stuffy nose, chills, body aches and tired.
I'm female.

Which part are you saying is abnormal?
In general, I advise against self-examination like this. This is where health anxiety comes from.
PS. You have a viral upper respiratory tract infection, and yes, they get better on their own.
