What Causes Hearing Loss And Jaw Ache While Having Sinusitis?

I am currently suffering with sinusitis which has given me jaw ache on the right hand side of my face and I feel a slight deafness in my right ear. I take Diovan 40mg and 75mg asprin daily to manage slight hypertension so am unable to take any over the counter sinus medicines. I am using an Olbas inhaler which keeps my airways clear but otherwise do not seem to be getting much better.

Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

I suspect that you are having otitis media infection.

In this infection ear drum is ruptured because of it you can't hear on that side.

Jaw pain is because of the inflammation on that side.

I advice you to take cefixime, paracetamol and chlorpheniramine maleate under your doctors guidance.

Please do take other drugs regular. If you are taking the steroid in inhaler please review it with your doctor because it causes immunosuppression.

Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important in clearing infection.

Ruptured ear drum can be repaired with surgery. So if yours have ruptured than you can repair it.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
