Suggest Treatment For Fluttering Sensation In The Ear
These sounds are common and should settle down.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. The reason for the fluttering getting worse after a burp is due to air flow in the Eustachian Tube that connects the middle ear and the nose.
2. The fluttering is either due to the same Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD) or a myoclonus of the tiny muscles connecting the ear bones (ossicles) or the muscles of the palate that open and close the Eustachian Tube. Sometimes it is related to a Temporo-Mandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD).
3. These sounds are common and should settle down, either on their own or by a routine medication of anti-allergic decongestants, steroid nasal sprays, mucolytic, anti-inflammatory medication and steam inhalation. Rarely is any antispasmodic or anti epileptic medication required.
4. An Impedance Audiogram can measure middle ear pressures. Get a dental opinion. Upload the test and examination results for more treatment options.
