A member asked:

I have been struggling with ear pain in my one ear and sinus the last view days any self medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: The cause of pain needs to be ascertained and addressed. By just taking pain medication, you may be masking an infection in the ear. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
