What Does Pressure In The Ears Indicate?

I ve had ear pressure for a few days wherein my left ear will not pop. It feels plugged with pressure. We have been on vacation and thought I may have gotten water in it, so I ve been putting swimmer s ear drops in it but the drops haven t really done anything. It may be sinus pressure as I ve been a bit stuff, however nothing has helped the pressure in my left ear.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query, you have symptoms of pressure in ears which seems to be due to ear infection, increase in blood pressure, ear wax buildup and eustachian tube disorder, which leads to pressure in ears.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper cleanliness of ears. You should consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Doctor may order audiometry testing and low and high pitched intensity testing to find out exact cause and duration of your symptoms.

Avoid touching and pricking ears with any sharp object. For now, take proper rest and drink green tea thrice a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
