Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have an infection in sinuses leading to sinusitis and pain and itching in ears seems to be due to ear infection that seems secondary to sinus infection and it is a considerably common finding..
I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get an x ray of sinuses done known as PNS View x ray and along with it otoscopic examination of ear to confirm the diagnosis..
In case if there is infection in ear and sinuses you will be advised a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Phenylephrine, decongestant nasal spray containing Xylometazoline, saline nasal irrigation and steam inhalations..
Antibiotic and steroid ear drops are needed to be instilled in ear..
Avoid chilled foods and air conditioned atmosphere..
Avoid picking the ear and also avoid excess water exposure like swimming..
Avoid popping the ear t prevent rupture to ear drum ..


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
