How Can Allergic Rhinitis And Earache Be Treated?

I have just returned today from a 4 hour airfare trip. I have been vacationing and had a lot of allergy symptoms (productive cough, runny nose, just not feeling great - but not real bad, either). I typically do not have any ear problems when flying, but this time when my ears started to close up, I tried my regular yawn and swallow techniques, but my nose and ears just never would open up. It was bad during take off, better after awhile up in the air, but HORRIBLE upon landing. My right ear ached tremendously, my right eye felt like it was going to burst out of my head and my right eye brow was throbbing with pain. I noticed that I had a bloody discharge when I blew my nose. Now I still have the blocked right side of my head (feels like I am talking in a tunnel) and bloody mucus when I blow my nose.
I think it is a sinus infection but worry my ear may be damaged.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are two possibilities
1. Sinus or nose infection
2. Repeated microtrauma

You have to go for X-ray/CT paranasal sinuses and CBC, nasal swab for detecting exact organism causing infection.

Till then take tablet Levofloxacin according to weight and tablet Ultracet thrice and tablet Montair LC once.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Chandra Shekhar
