See Your Doctor: Ear pain can result from a problem either in the ear itself or from elsewhere in the upper respiratory tract. Infection &/or fluid within the ear is common following head colds. Sinus tract infection can cause ear & head pain. These are treatable conditions however diagnosis is difficult without visual inspection. Infections require antibiotics. See your doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.
