Have Sinus And Congestion Along With Muffled Ear. Taking Antibiotic And Augmentin. Had A Surgery For Sinus Earlier. What To Do?

I have had sinus issues and sinus surgery in 2009 and have had Tinnitus in my ears as well. I developed congestion and a sinus infection over Memorial Day weekend and have had a muffled ear with pain since. I am on an antibiotic, Augmentin, for a week now. The Muffled ears has me very concerned and also it is amplifying the tinnitus issue in my ear. What should I do?
