Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
According to history it seems to be acute otitis media like ear infection. For that Otoscopy ear examination should be done. Check your CBC as well and PNS X-ray. Antibiotic course can be prescribed for five days. Decongestant like Levocetirizine can be prescribed. Consult otorhinolaryngologist for examination that is strongly needed in your case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
