Having Noticed Sinus Pressure & Ear Pain

For 2 months my ears have given me problems. Feels like its stuffy and sinus pressure is present. I have had a z-pak and a mild decongestant prescribed last week. It got a little better but I have run out and it's stating up again. This all makes it hard to think and like I'm in a fog and I get confused
