Hello,

You are experiencing earache due to sinus infection, which is affecting adjoining tissues of upper respiratory tract. Earache is mainly caused due to edema and congestion in the middle ear.

Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Take steam inhalation twice daily.
2. Do salt water gargling with warm water twice daily.
3. Take nasal decongestant medications.
4. Take analgesic medication like Ibuprofen twice daily after food.
5. Avoid consumption of cold items like cool drinks and ice-creams.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S
