Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your symptoms are suggestive of a middle ear infection. There is the possibility of wax in the ear canal. Answer me the following questions Is there any discharge from the ear? Do you have a cold or nasal block? Until you consult an ENT (ear-nose-throat) for this issue, for the time being, you can follow the precautions mentioned below; I suggest you take tablet Paracetamol (Tylenol) 650 mg three times a day after food, antihistamines tablets like Levocetrizine 5 mg once a day, use Ofloxacin (antibiotic) ear drops two drops three times a day, I also suggest tablet Chymoral Forte (trypsin-chymotrypsin) twice a day, one hour before food. Also, take steam inhalation three times a day. Take only hot food or drinks. Avoid swimming or taking a head bath till the pain is gone. Try to visit an ENT surgeon to see if you have wax in your ears. Take you.
