Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My right ear had started clicking when I yawn/burp. Previously there was a squelching when I rested the said ear on a pillow my shoulder but this seems to have stopped. I do getting clicking in the ear (mainly when I swallow) when I have congestion due to colds/flu type viruses and have had t have this ear syringed twice previously.
I think you've been a bit congested. Congestion will cause clogged Eustachian tube which is giving this clicking sound in your ears.
We do recommend in these cases to: - take plenty of fluids - apply nasal decongestant to open airways - we do encourage yawning or chewing gums continuously this will ease the symptoms - other exercises that might help include: close your mouth, hold your nose with a hand, and gently blow as you are blowing with nose. This has worked for my patients. - antihistamines taken orally can also help - apply vapor rub at night on the chest and on the back to open airways
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
