hello
this can be because of nasal problem,
first of all start antibiotic like Amoxicillin + clavulinic acid 625mg three times a day,with Combination of decongestant and antiallergic,,,Serratiopeptidase,,,steam inhalation and multivitamins.
after this condition is settled go to see ENT specialist and get CT scan nose and paranasal sinus .so that further treatment can be planned.

Hello dear...
All these symptoms suggest that you might be suffering from upper respiratory tract infection(most probably viral infection)
There is a connecting tract (known as Eustachian tube) between the nasopharynx & middle ear through which infection can spread to ear.
Also obstruction to this Eustachian tube can lead to ear pain by un-equalisation of pressure between the nasopharynx & middle ear.
The management consists of:
1. Drinking of warm fluids to reduce throat pain
2. Antihistamines to provide symptomatic relief.
3. Nasal decongestants to relieve ET tube obstruction.
4. Analgesics to take care of pain & fever(if any)
So...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist & start treatment.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
