thanks for writing to us ,
it's very unlikely that your ear pain and the general body aches are related . in view of your earlier TB , I would advice you to meet an ENT / physician for detailed check up .
the causes of ear aches can be plenty , from simple ear wax to radiated pain to the ear . please do get yourself examined.
do write in for any further clarification s .
hope this helps

Arun

tb treated patients normally develop allergies after few months or years
if allergy involves sinus there is post nasal drip causing eustachian tube blockage and ear pain and may also can chest tightness if falls in respiratory system
you need to get xray pns waters view to get diagnosis and treatment in consultation with ent doctor
till you can use anti allergics neomycin h ointment in nose bd application and sea water 2 drops at night in each nose to clear tubes and prevent ear ache
