Suggest Treatment For Pressure Issue In Ears

Posted on Fri, 8 Aug 2014

Question: I have a slight pressure issue in one of my ears and it seems a bit clogged but not painful and I can hear.
My lymph nodes feel slightly odd. They do not hurt. They are soft. I do not think they are swollen. If anything they may be very slightly larger than normal, but is seems I can feel my pulse in them without touching. I have had all of these symptoms before earlier in life. I also have slight sinus pressure. I just started Humira so I just want to feel sure I should not be concerned.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

since you have started on humira , which can cause suppression of your defenses it is advisable that you meet your ent doctor as it looks like from your symptoms that you may be having a sinus infection.

You may need antibiotics for the infection and for this you will need to meet your doctor.

for the time being you can start steam inhalation 2-3 times a day .

please dont ignore this and meet your doctor.
