Hi,
The ear pain could be reffered pain from sinus infection or upper respiratory tract infection.
You need to given decongestant like phenylephrine course for five days. Avoid the intake of excess spicy foods.
One tsp turmeric powder with milk daily will be beneficial. For pain relief and to get rid of inflammation ibuprofen can be prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
