Please be reassured that right-sided ear pain and a headache during a severe cold are highly unlikely to indicate a brain hemorrhage. Instead, these symptoms are common signs of sinus congestion or a middle ear infection caused by the cold. To relieve her symptoms, she can use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. A nasal decongestant spray or oral decongestants can also help ease pressure in her sinuses and ears. Applying a warm compress to her ear may provide additional comfort. Please consult a doctor if she develops a high fever, ear discharge, or if her symptoms worsen.
