Diagnosis: At age 39, you most likely have a viral upper respiratory infection. Whether it is viral or bacterial, the pain in the middle ear, not the inner ear, may be referred. That is, the throat discomfort may refer pain to the side of the face. The proper treatment in medicine is not to look for over the counter medicine first, but to be evaluated by a competent ENT doc before you do anything.
