Hear clogged
I had cold 3 or 2 months ago. I started feeling clogged left ear since then. Now my cold is gone . But still I feel popping sound, some liquid in my left ear. Whatever I speak all the sound resounds in left ear. My other ear is ok. This problem occurs every year but goes away. Last time I took hot compression, steam inhalation with capsules of essential oil, nose drops then I got relief . But this time it is still there. Plz help me out.
Hi. You seem to be having symptoms of 'Glue ear' or 'Serous Otitis Media'. I would suggest that you visit an ENT specialist near you for a physical examination of the ear. A test to evalaute the function of the tube connecting your ear to nose (Eustachian tube) may help in confirming the diagnosis. The treatment includes simple nose drops and decongestant tablets, but may need to be taken for 2-3 weeks. If the symptoms are recurrent, detailed examination of the nose, including a diagnostic nasal endoscopy, may be required.
