Hello,
Judging from your description the symptoms you are experiencing may well be in the setting of a middle ear infection.
Since the middle ear communicates with the upper airways it may be associated with the stuffed nose.
So I suggest you see an ENT specialist in order to have your ear checked as if the diagnosis is confirmed you might need treatment with antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
