can allergies affect the ears?

Ainsley had a really stuffy nose a couple weeks ago that backed her up so bad that she actually ruptured an eardrum. She had never had an earache up until one night where she cried quite a bit and the next day it was done but her ears were caked with a orange substance. The doctor tells me it was probably puss.
I asked him if she was stuffed because of allergies and I was told that she was too young for them and that she probably needs her adenoids out. I was also told not to use any decongestants or antihistamines because they dry out the mucous which inturn makes it thicker and even harder to get out. Just nasal livage and saline drops. Hope this helps.
