Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your symptoms it looks like severe sinus Infection..
There is fluid accumulation in the sinuses causing congestion and severe pressure..
Blurred vision is also due to pressure build up in the sinuses.
As there are large sinuses present behind the eyes there can be pressure , pain and blurred vision..

Popping of ears can be due to blocked Eustachian tube secondary to Sinusitis..

So first of all consult an Emergency room and get evaluated..
A x-ray can also be taken.

You should continue antibiotics and along with it take decongestants like Phenylephrine, mucolytic like Bromohexine and antihistamines like Levocetrizine.
Use decongestant nasal spray like Xylometazoline.
Do saline nasal irrigation and steam inhalation..
Avoid irritant and spicy foods..
Drink plenty of warm water..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
