Could be the infection still messing you up, it's so frustrating, docs just put me on a course of antibiotics due to infection hanging around after a heavy cold and felt a distinct lack of energy affecting my running..anyway, it's a nuisance, you start off well, then these health things crop up, all you can do is to try and do some short runs as and when you feel OK without the ear pain just to keep hand in. I sometimes have problem with ears with wax buildup, so occasionally use olive oil drops, when I remember!😊
