What Is The Cause Of An Ear Ache?

I just began dipping again and since about a month ago, the right side of my face has been aching. Also, my right ear has been hurting. The discomfort comes and goes. Could this be a direct result of tobacco? My lips and mouth do not hurt and I have no sores or anything like that.

Hello

Yes it can be due to tobacco and it seems like you are having a sinus infection. This will gradually worsen and i think you should not delay and meet your ent doctor as soon as possible.for the time being you can start steam inhalation 2-3 times a day, it will help.

Thanks
