Problems with my ear….help?
These are my symptoms:
ringing (Tinnitus)
dull ache
ear fullness or stuffiness
I have been to the ENT…I do not have an ear infection, hearing and pressure are normal, negative for TMJ, no wax build up. Has anyone else experiened these Symptoms And what helped you, if anything. I was told to take Zyrtec and Nasonex along with saline spray which are not really helping.
I had these same symptoms for years, sometimes it would be an ear infection or fluid buildup.
How long have you been on the allergy meds?
The reason they gave you these is because the fullness and ache you are feeling is caused by the allergens that are blocking your Eustachian tube. This in turn causes symptom similar to an ear infection. You need to take the meds for at least 2 weeks in order to see a difference. If they are not working, it could just be that you need different allergy meds. Try Astelin nasal spray, it works for indoor and outdoor allergens.
Since your hearing and pressure are normal, it shouldn’t be anything else. Get an allergy test at your ENT, so you can know what you’re allergic to.
