Persisting Cracking And Popping In Ear, Headaches. No Improvement With Medicines. Help?
Hello,
After being sick earlier this year (roughly 4 months ago) I have had ongoing cracking and popping and what feels like plugging in my ears and ustachian tubes (forgive spelling). I often have to hold my nose and push out to clear what feels like closing up of my ear passage way and eustachian tubes. Some days after I have to do it so much I am then getting ear aches. Certain days are worse and is accompanied with head aches and some days its mild. Also, I have develped a similar cracking and popping sound when I turn my neck and head which i never used to have. My ENT had me on Nasonex and Claritin. I did that program for 2 months with no results. Please help.

these are allergies of sinuses
the post nasal drip of sinuses blocks eustachian tubes and causes ear dis function
here only antiallergics work no antibiotics
take montair fx(combination of momntelucast anfd fexofenadine)bd
syp gelusil 2 tsf tds
syp piriton 1/2 tsf night
apply neomyin h eye ointment in nose bd
sea water drops 2 drops in each nose at niht
take short course of metrogyl 20 mg bd for 3 days to clear infection of sinuses if there becauses metrogyl clears th sinuses very fast
you can continue 3 -4 wk
i think you must be ok but bget consultation after xray pns waters view and get treated as the y are likely to recur
