Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tightness and pressure inside ear which could be due to TMJ dislocation, fluid accumulation in ear, ear wax collection, stress or serious condition like acoustic neuroma. I would suggest you to take nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should do mouth stretching excercises. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic ear drops for 5-7 days. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get TMJ examination and otoscopic examination done and start treatment after proper prescription. Avoid extreme mouth opening. Avoid touching or pricking ear . Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
