Hello,
You may need antibiotics. If this has been going on for over two weeks you may need an antibiotic. Often ear infections or sinus infections start out as a viral infection but this usually clears up on 7-10 days. If it persists for a longer time then you may have developed a secondary bacterial infection.
See your doctor for another evaluation and treatment.
