What Does Pressure In The Left Ear Indicate?

i have this pressure/fullness in my left ear only, for the past couple of months. It comes and goes throughout the day and sometimes i feel like i have a headache in the back of that ear that also comes and goes. the pressure in the ear feels worse when i lay down on a pillow. I have taken antibiotics, but didn t seem to have helped. Thank you very much

Hello,

As per your query you have symptoms of pressure in the left ear which is known as tinnitus and could be due to wax buildup, infection of the ear and systemic condition like Meniere's disease.

I would suggest you consult ENT specialist once for proper examination. The doctor may order CT scan, blood test, and examination with an otoscope. The doctor may prescribe stronger antibiotics and get ear wax cleaned. Avoid Itching and pricking ear with any sharp object. Apply warm compresses on the ear. Avoid sleeping on the left side and excessive use of mobile from that side.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
