Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having ear ache.
Based on your clinical details, it appears to be otitis media or impacted cerumen secondary to sinusitis.
I suggest the following measures, to overcome your ear pain.
1. Take pain killer like tab. brufen 400mg twice daily.
2. Anti allergic medications tab.citrizine 10mg one at bed time.
3. Steam inhalation twice daily for nose and sinus secretions clearance.
4. put nasal decongestant drops xylometazoline 3 drops/3 times.
5. do not attempt self cleaning or water per ear (plug it with dry cotton).
You need to see ent surgeon for the exact diagnosis and treatment.
