Pain In Left Ear, Light Pink Drainage, Z Pack, Sinus Infection The Cause ?

I am experiencing a stabbing-like pain in my left ear as well as drainage (it s mostly light pink but does have some darker, reddish color to it as well). I have a sinus infection and started the Z-Pack yesterday but is there any possibility that there is something else contributing to this other than the sinus infection?

hi kimi
welcome to healthcaremagic

the sinus infection could have precipitated the ear infection, the characteristics of ear discharge which you describe requires ENT consultation as early as possible
keep us posted
