Hollow Sound In Head And Crackling In Left Ear. On Allergy Medication. Solution?
I have a hollow sound in my head as well as a crackling in my left ear. It has been about a month now and it is not getting better. I had a physical just this last week and my dr said to take some allergy meds to help release any fluid from my ears? This seems to be a much bigger problem than just allergy meds. My biggest concern is that I am flying from California to Tennessee in 2 weeks and I know this may cause a problem with the pressure in my ear?

your disease is allergic sinusitis
post nasal drip of sinuses can block eustachiatubes cauing feeling in the rears
and this leads to sounds which is sign of blockge of ear tubes
no ntbiotic reaches the sinuses easily
the best is to take doxycycline 100 mg bd 10 days to clear sinuses and its infection
take antiallegic ebastine 10 mg bd to clear the mucus and stoping of mucus formation
apply neomycin h eye ointment in nose bd
sea water drops 2 drops at night each nose
these will open ears
take 2 wk you will be fine
