What Causes Pressure In Ear?
I had my ears syringed approx 3months ago as they were full of wax and I could not hear properly. Since then I have had a feeling of pressure in my right ear only. It seems to be worse while driving. There is no pain as such. I have been back to dr to have it checked but it was clean with no infection. I haven t had a cold or flu or any sinus problems. No pain in my jaw either. What could this be? It is becoming rather annoying. Thanks,

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Pressure inside the ear is due to clogging of the eustachian tubes, for whatever the reason. Try to blow your cheeks with air, closing your nostrils with fingers. (valsalva manoeuvre). This will help if you have not already tried this.
Hope there is no dizziness and hearing loss.
Provided there is no remnant wax or fungus in the ears, this exercise will help you greatly.
All the best
