Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have congestion in head,nose and ears which seems to be due to severe sinus infection and mid ear infection which is due to disturbance in Eustachian tube pressure as it maintains equilibrium between both the organs and their cavities. I would suggest you to take antibiotics and oral decongestants.You should avoid oily and spicy food and cold carbonated beverages. You should put nasal decongestant drops and nasonex nasal sprays as well. Maintain ear clean and don't prick it with any sharp object. Avoid blowing if you have nose infection as well as it can lead to fall of mucus in throat and further infection. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper examination. Avoid exposure to allergens such as mist, fog. Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray of paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the exact diagnosis. Maintain adequate hydration and take balances diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
