Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. You should consult an ENT Specialist.
2. A cold may lead to blockage of the Eustachian Tube which connects the ear to the nose.
3. This may lead to a pressure change or fluid build-up in the middle ear leading to decreased hearing.
4. Medication such as anti-allergic, decongestants and mucolytics along with steam inhalation and decongestant nasal drops will help.
5. Her sinusitis may be treated later.
I hope that I have answered your queries. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
