Ear infection: Yes your right ear can become involved. The sound is muffled in your becauseof your congestion. Add salt waternose drops to your treatment or an otc antihistamine to control the nasal congestion.

Otitis media: Hello. It is common for a unilateral OM to spread to the other side. The lining in the nose bridges the sinuses and the ears. If you have been on an antibiotic and the infection is worsening, see your doctor for a reevaluation.
