Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have weird sound in the ear when blowing the nose. Well the symptoms you mention in query are clearly indication a condition known as eustachian tube dysfunction . Well there can be many reasons for eustachian tube dysfunction like excessive accumulation of wax in ear, upper respiratory tract infection , sinusitis or post nasal drip. I would suggest you to :
- Take proper course of antibiotics along with antiinflammatory medication.
- Take steam twice a day to relieve the congestion .
- Do warm saline gargles .
- Apply dry hot compresses to external ear .
Consult ENT specialist again to rule out causer like ear infection, meniere's disease or wax buildup . Doctor may prescribe mucolytic agent , decongestant and antibiotics . In some cases doctor may also give tubes to relieve the pressure which is common procedure .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
