My daughter constantly has a popping ear in her inner ear for many years and these six months, her right ear is getting worse and really bothering her. Her popping ear which came to the degree that she can able to control and release the popping in her inner ear. Can you help her, she had seem the ENT dr but he couldn t able to diagnose her ear problem.
The problem you mention in query is probably occur due to eustachian tube dysfunction. Eustachian tube is a small tube connecting middle ear or inner ear to naso pharynx and it keep the pressure balance between middle ear and nasopharynx .
There can be many reasons for eustachian tube dysfunction . It usually occur when it become clogged due to mucus produce because sinusitis , post nasal drip and chronic upper respiratory infection.
If there are no symptoms like i mention above then the probable reason would be allergy which make it inflamed and cause problem .
I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist (ear,nose and throat ) again to discuss the case .
Doctor may order X-ray of face or CT scan to find out exact cause .
Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course , expectorant and anti histamine drug depending upon the diagnosis .
Till then start taking over the counter anti histamine drug like benadryl .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
