Hello,
Thanks for the concern. According to history you have Ethmoidal sinusitis and deviated nasal septum due to which you are suffering from left side ear blockage, ringing ears, jaw discomfort, left sided headache. There lare two modes of treatment 1) Medical management which include decongestant drugs, painkillers with paracetamol, antibiotics and also you can take hot steam twice daily. But if you dont feel relief than the only option is 2) Surgical treatment which is Septoplasty. So immediately consult the ENT surgeon and start treatment accordingly. Take care
