Ear fullness is a common symptom of sinusitis. The blockage in the sinuses to the fluid in this condition causes fluid accumulation which, in turn, causes congestion of the ear-nose tract. With the treatment you are on, if the sinus congestion resolves, the ear fullness would subside. However, I would advice you visit your primary care doctor to correctly diagnose the cause of the sinusitis. Once the cause is detected, treatment is known.
