Ear popping every time I pull my ear

2017-12-08 09:29:51
Hello Doc! I've been experiencing ear popping in my right ear every time I stretch my ear lobe. It is ONLY in my right ear. Is this something to be worried about?

You seem to be having impacted wax inside your ear canal or you may be having eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. Treatment depends on diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required.
