How To Treat Severe Sinus Drainage And Ear Pressure?
I have these ongoing pressure points behind my right ear that cause major senativity a causes me to constantly stretch my ear opening looking for relief. I also seem to always have an unessary amount of drainage from my sinuses even with no sickness it persists. What may be wrong with me?
As per your complain it seems that drainage from the sinuses is probably due to sinus infection or sinusitis and it seems that it has led to fluid accumulation behind the eardrum as ear and throat are connected via Eustachian tube.. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS view x ray or MRI scan can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room.. You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline.. Avoid spicy and chilled foods.. Do warm compresses around nostrils..
Hope this helps..
Thanks and regards.
