Could The Runny Nose, Shooting Pain In Ear And Teary Eyes Is The Allergy Due To Birth Control Pills?
I am a 19 year old, white, female. I am only taking birth control for medicine. For the past week I have had ear pain (shooting pains in the center of my ear) and pressure in both ears when I lie down. The past 3/4 days I have had a runny nose and teary eyes occasionally. And starting today I have been dizzy/light-headed and twice I have had a numbing sensation on the left side of the bridge of my nose. Could it be allergies?

Hi,
The symptoms you have are typical for allergy./ allergic rhinitis
Mostly such symptoms are due to inhaled allergens.
However it's just possible to have atypical allergic symptoms.
Before chnanging the pills/stopping them a Gynecologist's/ allergy specialist's
advice should be taken.
By the time you can take anti cold tablets,inhalation of eukalyptus vapor.
Thanks.
