Try to avoid triggering factors.Cover your nose with handkerchief during exposure.
Levocetrizine or fexofenedine with montelukast will be helpful during episodes.
Take nsaid with decongestant.
Steam inhalation will be helpful.
Keep in touch with your doctor.Consult ent doctor and ask about endoscopic examination and surgery.

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Your symptoms seems like allergic response involving sinus and middle ear.
Do concentrated salt water gargle and steam inhalation three times a day. You can take antihistamine and Tab Montelukast 10mg every day along with anti inflammatory drug like Paracetamol.
If fever / bacterial infection then antibiotic is required. Have adequate regular sleep, plenty of fluids, nutritious diet with required calorie and regular outdoor exercises. Breathing exercises will be good. Hope I answered your question. Consult your doctor for further management.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries or doubts and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
Dr. Lohit K
