Brief Answer:
Probably the symptoms are related to a sinus infection, follow the advice.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your symptoms seem to be related to a sinus infection.

The sinus infection can cause blockage and swelling of the eustachian tubes and middle ear.

This can cause sinus and ear congestion.

I suggest using a decongestant such as Sudafed.

I also suggest drinking fluids, such as water or juice. This will help dilute mucous secretions and promote drainage.

You can apply warm compresses to the face and use saline nasal sprays.

If the symptoms continue antibiotics may be needed.

In this case, I recommend using antibiotic Augmentin 625mg twice a day after discussing with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
