Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Your symptoms can be probably due to infection in ear only and the tunnel or echo sound can be due to fluid behind the ear drum..

If there are continuous sounds from ear then it can be due to ringing in ears or Tinnitus..

So my suggestion is to consult a Physician and get evaluated and a course of antibiotics should also be prescribed along with anti inflammatory painkillers and nasal decongestants..

Antibiotics and analgesic ear drops can also help in relieving faster..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
