Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, : Unfortunately, fluid build-up behind an ear drum is common after an upper respiratory illness or sinus infection.

Since there are no medications shown to alleviate the pressure or drain the fluid from behind the ear drum, it will either resolve on its own or it has to be done with a suction and/or ear tubes. You can try taking Motrin or tylenol (acetaminophen) for the ear discomfort, but time is the best treatment.  If your ear discomfort worsens, go see your doctor for an evaluation.
