Probably unrelated: This sounds like conjunctivitis, which may or may not be related to the ear infection, did you have a cold? See your Dr. to determine if the conjunctivitis is viral or bacterial. He/she can provide appropriate treatment for either.

For the past 3 weeks my right eye has been extremely watery, red and sensitive to light. Some pain below eye in cheek area and just above eye brow area on right side also. OTC eye drops not helpful. Could this be sinus causing this?
