Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pain in ear along with upper and lower teeth pain only on right side that is severe and comes and goes throughout the day can be related to nerve related pain as in case if it is due to sinus infection it does not generally effects lower jaw or lower teeth..
It seems to be due to nerve related issue and can be due to Trigeminal Neuralgia..
It occurs when the Trigeminal nerve is either taumatized or gets compresses with artery or any tumour etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and MRI scan of sinuses can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
In case if it is not due to sinuses then you will be referred to a Neurophysician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and MRI scan can help in diagnosis and in case of Trigeminal Neuralgia you can be advised neurotic pain relievers like Carbamazipine, Gabapantin, Baclofen etc..
In case if there is no improvement with medications surgical treatment like Microvascular Decompression, Balloon Compression etc can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
