I have had sinus cogent ion for 29th, now my ears are irritated and popping. We had over 2 mths of fire and smoke ,were evacuated, and I have never smoked. My nose seems enflamed, hard to sleep, now my ears I feel it. Not a ear ache, but feeling it. Have used saline a couple times, just comes back. Really tired, lower back and neck aches. What else can I do? Thanks How long will it last?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain popping sensation in the ears with a recent history of sinus infection infection seems to be due to Eustachian tube dysfunction and fluid behind the eardrum..
This is commonly seen following a cold or sinus infection leading to post nasal drip as the eustachian tube is connected to throat..

I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray, MRI, otoscopy etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics, oral as well as nasal decongestants like Xylometazoline nasal sprays.
Along with it steam inhalation and chewing chewing gum can help..
In case of no improvement in 15 days surgical drainage by making a small incision through the eardrum can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
