Hello,
I can understand your concern. It seems that you are suffering from sinusitis, inflammation of the sinuses. When maxillary sinus is inflamed, it causes upper teeth to be sensitive along with feeling of pressure in the ear.
I would advise you to use decongestants to clear the sinus. Inhalation of steam will also help a lot to clear the sinuses. Once the pressure in the sinus will be relieved, you will not feel sensitive upper teeth and pressure in the ear.
If you are in pain, you can continue with the Paracetamol 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 mg up to three times in a day.
However, if you do not feel better in a week, you should consult an ENT specialist for clinical examination and further investigations.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon.
Best,
