Hello I hope things get better for you soon. Have you tried a nasl decongestant or benadryl for the pain? You should call your pharmacist and see if the pharmacist will tell you what to take. Benadryl is very good for pain, in the face and the ear at times. I take benadryl at night with a nasal decongestant and it helps me sleep and also with arthritis. Take care Soidhonia
