Suggest Remedy For Chocking In Ear And Nostrils
I am a 32 year old male. I do not have insurance right now. However, I will be able to go to the doctor soon. For the past 5+ years, my right ear has been feeling clogged, a constant popping sound that I learned to live with, and sometimes a sharp pain. I do know that my nostrils fluctuate from time to time on being clogged. Meaning one nostril is clogged and a day or two later the other goes from open to clogged while the one that was clogged is now open. What does all this mean for me?

Hello,
Fluctuations in nose block are common it is called nasal cycle.
Clogged ears may be due to allergy or infection or eustachian tube block.
Avoid cool drinks and freeze water avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Use water vapour inhalation and salt gargling thrice a day for five days.
Use tablet montelukast and levocetirizine.
If symptoms not improved please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
