Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blocked ears and nose which seems to be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction and it could be due to respiratory tract infection which is creating negative pressure inside ears. For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order test like viral culture test , throat swab test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis and rule out causes like acid reflux. You should go for otoscopic examination of ear as well and start treatment after proper prescription. Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial medications along with decongestants.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
