What Could Be The Reason For Having Fluttering Sensation In My Ear And Tightness In My Cheekbone?

Hi, I have this "fluttering" "tapping" sensation in my right ear. It started 8 days ago. On day 3, I went to urgent care where I was diagnosed with "slight bronchitis" and some sinus swelling. I was given Medrol and prednisone. During this time, my temperature has been between 99.4 and 100.3 by digital ear thermometer. With the meds all finished up, I continue to feel this "fluttering" sensation and a tightness in my cheekbones. What to do next?

hello. it is likely that you are having a sinus infection and may require some antibiotics for the same. meanwhile you can try steam inhalation 4-5 times a day and meet your ENT doctor for further advice. thanks
