Had 2 ear infections back to back.ear pain better but throbbing headache in forehead,sometimes in back of head.101.8 fever.is this sinuses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most probably: It is your sinuses, some consider middle ears as part of the sinus system, they all are connected and drain into the upper airways so any bug can affect the whole area. Need to see your doctor again, meanwhile use saline nasal washes, pain killers and decongestants if you are not hypertensive,
