Can H1N1 Cause Throat Inflammation And Pain In Ear With Sinus Infection?

I got the swine flu five months ago and I have RA. I was hospitalized for five days and they gave me the anti viral drugs along with prednisone. I recently became ill with what seems to be sinus infection. I'm experiencing regurgitation and sore throat that feels swollen and I can't eat, cause it is really uncomfortable do to the severity of the inflammation and pain that radiates to my left ear. I'm on antibiotics for like the fourth time since I got the H1n1. Should I be worried? Can you have complications this far out after the initial onset of the flu?

you need to be careful as you are having repeated infection . SO contact to a ENT surgeon and undergo examination of ear and sinuses to rule out any pathology in that part .
