Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

Do not worry! The nasal spray in the ear will not cause any damage to skin of the external auditory canal or the ear drum.

You can take pain relievers such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. Do steam inhalation; avoid water into the ears. This should alleviate your symptoms.

Hope this answers your query; I will be available for the follow up queries.
