Suggest Treatment For Plugged Sensation In The Ear
Question: Hello, my name is XXXXXXX I have a plugged right ear and the last two days it has affected my equilibrium greatly. Now I can't fully close my right eye easily.
Brief Answer:
You are probably developing a facial palsy.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Based on the symptoms, you could be developing a facial muscle weakness (facial palsy) on the right side. The symptoms include inability to close the eyes, deviation of angle of mouth to one side and leaking of food/water on the affected side.
You can get examined to confirm or exclude the same. Ear examination should also be done to exclude any infection.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
