See doctor today: You may have an infection either of the ear canal or of the middle ear. See your physician today. The problem should be readily solvable and the pain won't go away until you get it treated

Ear infection: Your chronic sinus infections can seed the adjacent structures such as your middle ear. You should call your doctor to get started on a course of antibiotics until you can can have a physical exam. Given your report of chronic sinusitis, you need eval by an ENT with sinus CT to implement more definitive treatment if in fact you have sinus infection and not facial pain and migraine equivalents
