What Causes Tinnitus And Pinkish Sinus Drain After A Long Flight?
while flying on southwest, on desent my ears stopped up. i held my nose and popped them back. It really hurt. That night my sinus started draining into my throat. When i spit it out , it was pinkish blood. This went on for six hours. Now that it has stopped, my ears throat and eyes hurt, and my ears are steady ringing.
* As per my clinical experience, the tinnitus is natural physiologic response to height attendance in flight.
* It takes around a period of 1-2 hours to get back to normal previous stage physiology of the hearing system.
* As there was self maneuver to open the blocked hearing in terms of held nose and popping back, the excess pressure exerted over the sinuses, gave blood in spitting.
* If the bleed persists beyond a period of 2-3 hours, consult your ENT specialist immediately.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
