Suggest Treatment For Sinus Infection

I have had awful allergies this summer and have had a sinus infection or something close to it at least the past 2 - 3 months off and on and am finally feeling better but now I have a slight ear ache and my neck hurts a little bit and occasionally get a headache. What could be the problem

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Ear infection can be secondary to sinus infection and post nasal drip..

So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a clinical examination can be done..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory painkillers to be taken orally and along with it antibiotic and analgesic ear drops..

In case if there is headache and other sinus related issues still present then a sinus x ray should be done so that appropriate treatment can be done..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
