What Is The Cure For The Sinus Infection And Pain And Itching In The Ear?

I have something like a sinus infection going on right now, including left ear pain/itching. I just found a small "knot" on the left aide of my neck, pretty much straight down from my ear and at my collarbone. Would this be associated with my current illness?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sinus infection along with earache and small knots on the left side of neck and at collarbone..
Well, the symptoms of earache seems to be due to ear infection and that is most probably due to sinus infection..
The knots are swollen lymph nodes that are also due to infection..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS View x ray or MRI scan of the sinuses and otoscopy of ear can be done.

You can be advised a curse of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine can help..
You can also be advised antibiotic and analgesic ear drops, saline nasal irrigations, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
Do warm compresses over the lymph nodes..
Avoid chilled foods..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
