Brief Answer:
Bells palsy with otitis media

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Pain behind the ear and in front as well with inability to close ipsilateral eye completely with dryness to it is likely a Bells palsy ( 7th nerve palsy) secondary to middle ear infection. You need an otorhinolaryngological examination of the middle ear to assess the severity of otitis media ( Middle ear infection), which will decide whether surgery or conservative approach with antibiotics and anti inflammatory should be opted for.

Regarding eye symptoms, that is due to the facial nerve passess through the ear and might have been compromised and affected causing the palsy. It will need treatment of underlying cause which is infection as discussed above as well as symptomatic treatment like artificial tears, lubricants, corticosteroids use (oral is preferable ), mouth exercises like chewing gums etc and putting a washcloth soaked in warm water will help the symptoms. No worries these symptoms self resolve in a few weeks after correction of ear infection. Easily manageable. Just seek an otorhinolaryngologist and let them have a look into it.

I hope it helps Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
