What Causes Clogged Ears?
12 days ago I woke up Monday morning and my ears were popping like on an airplane and I couldn’t hear out of the one on the left - just white noise and whistles - I went to the doctor who said it seemed like it could be a wax problem - I cleaned my ears several times with ear wax remover - still no better - I’m scared because my doctor asked for me to get a CT scan so I’m scared it might be very serious - but wouldn’t I have headaches and pain if it were tumors or cancer ? Please help I’m truly afraid because I was referred to get a ct scan but they said my Insurance is inactive so what are the signs of something serious like cancer ?

Hello,
You may be suffering from bilateral eustachian tube blockage with middle ear Infection. Probably caused by allergy or infection. Which may lead to blockage. Avoid cool'drinks and freeze water, use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling. CT scan may be needed to confirm that you have sinusitis or other problems. Use tablet alday dc twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
