Suggest Treatment For Pressure In The Head And Earache

Hello, I was using a squeeze bottle to flush my nose and I squeezed to hard which cause air and water to shoot up and cause my ears to pop. Every since then my ear has been feeling like I was on an airplane and my head feels like it is going to explode due to pressure. Four days ago prior to this i was diagnosed with strep throat and also a sinus infection. Please help. I am really nervous about maybe pushing too much air into my head through my nose.

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

I carefully read your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to the sinus infection and an inner ear infection.

You should know that there is no direct way to the brain, so do not worry about any air pushed into the brain.

The nasal (and throat) cavity is closely related to the sinuses and the inner ear cavities.

So an inner ear infection could be related you headache, besides the sinus infection.

I recommend consulting with the ENT specialist for a careful physical examination, a sinus X ray study, a sinus discharge bacterial culture and discuss the proper antibiotic therapy to be started.

Hope to have been of help!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
