Brief Answer:
it can involve sinuses and blocks the eustachin tube

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I see similar cases amongst veteran people who visit my clinic.

Common cold, if not treated properly, it can involve sinuses and blocks the eustachin tube ( tube connecting middle ear and nose).

I suggest you to visit an ent surgeon and get detailed ent examination, otoscopy, if necessary audiometry to know any fluid behind your ear drum).

If I were your treating doctor, I advise you to start antibiotics for sinusitis and decongesents like levocitrizine+ pseudoephidrine, and nasal drops like xylometazoline. mean time you can do valsalva manoere ( watch on youtube ) , chew chewing gum can be tried.


Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your follow up.

As per your audiometry, fluid behind the intact ear drum, can be managed by

1. Surgery- Myringotomy with grommet.

2. Medications + valsalva exercises (watch youtube), chew chewing gum.


In chronic case, exercises will not help. only resort is surgery.

All the best. take care.
