May be water has gone to sinuses and middle ear.
Next Steps
Decongestant nasal drop- Drop the required number of drops into each nostril. The aim is to get the liquid to spread over all the inside surface of the nose - including the upper surface.
A good position is to lie on a bed with your head hanging back over the edge. Stay like this for two minutes after putting in the drops before getting up.
Donot swallow for 1 minute.
Anti fungal Anti bacterial anti inflammatory ear drop
