What Causes Ear Block While Chewing Food?
Hi, I m experiencing ear block this happens more when I chew food. When I try popping it, it gets released. This is been there for almost 4-6 months now. I face this problem only with my left ear. In a similar fashion, I have been getting goops out of my left eye for the past 3-4 months. In addition, while I wake up in the morning I feel that my eye lid is stuck and it will not open for some time. Please share your suggestion. Thanks.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction. I suggest using a decongestant such as Dexometorphan. I also suggest to do exercises such as swallowing or chewing gum to open the tube.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
