A doctor has provided 1 answer

Otitis: This may be due to inflammation or blockage of the middle ear which can occur because of nasal congestion blocking the tube which drains this area of the ear. Nasal decongestants may help. If the pain persists make sure you see your healthcare provider because pain can be referred to the ear from other areas.
