What Is The Solution For Weird Squeeking Noise In Ear When I Burp Or Hiccup?
Hi! So I have not been sick or anything but the other day my ear started to make a weird squeeking noise when I burp or hiccup. Ive tried ear drops, rubbing alcohol, wax removers, poping my ears and everything. Nothing has worked. It has a slight pain when im not bothering it. When I burp and it squeeks it doesnt hurt. Help please?

Hi Dear ,
As per your query you are experiencing weird noises in ear while burp or hiccups . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as eustachian tube dysfunction . This condition occur when conditions like upper respiratory track infection or post nasal drip left untreated ans infection spread to ear through eustachian tube . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may conduct various tests to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin or penicillin ) , decongestants and mucolytic agent . For now do warm saline gargles and apply hot dry conpresses to external ear .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
