Eustachian tube dysfunction could be the cause of your recurrent ear infections.Patients with chronic sinusitis can get recurrent ear infections due to sub optimal functioning of eustachian tube.Dont do forceful blowing of nose with saline as this might lead to any spread of infection from nose to ears
