How To Treat Clogged Ears Inspite Of Using Flonase Caused From Sinus Infection?

My eardrums are retracted from a sinus and chest cold. I am now over it, but still having trouble with the ears. I can feel them move when I move my head at certain angles and am able to hear, but as soon as I straighten up, they get sucked back in and o can't hear that well. Flonase always helps but it isn't this time, but it is usually caused from allergies and not a cold or sinus infection. What can o do without going to the doctor? It happens all the time.

Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have clogged ears in spite of using Flonase caused from sinus infection . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the infection spread from upper respiratory track to ear through eustachian tube due to post nasal drip caused by sinusitis . This condition also known as eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) . This can also occur due to allergic reaction . I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles , take steam twice a day and take benadryl twice a day . Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order throat swab test , viral culture test , CT scan and blood test . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( penicillin or amoxicillin ) , decongestant and expectorant .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
