Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain it seems that you have Chronic Ear Infection and can occur if the previous infection is not completely resolved and there is accumulation of pus and bacteria behind the ear drum leading to recurring infection when bacterial count increases..
It can also occur secondary to upper respiratory tract infection, sinusitis, post nasal drip etc..
I would suggest you to consult an Otoaryngologist and after a proper clinical evaluation he can advise you antibiotics, painkillers, decongestants as well as antibiotic ear drops and nasal decongestants..
You can also be advised to get tubes/grommets placed in ear for ease in draining and reducing infection frequency..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
