Constantly Popping Ears, Sinus Pain. X-ray Shows Enlarged Mastoids And Small Sinus. Should I See An ENT?

I was told that I have enlarged mastoids. A problem I do have is that my ears are constantly popping and when I bend over it fells like a river rushing through my ears. I also get a lot of pain in my sinuses. I had an ex-ray done on my sinuses several months ago and this is when I was told that my mastoids were enlarged and one of my sinuses was very small. Should I see a ENT about this.

Hello,
Yes you should consult an ent specialist and get your ears checked and secondly get the x ray of sinuses checked .
When there is sinus infection then the infected discharge drains at the back, and it causes swelling and edema around the tube behind the nose.
This tube gets connected to the middle part of ear.When the swelling is there then the ear gets fluid collection and get clogged .
YOu may require antibiotics , decongestants oral and nasal. and depending on the sinus disease surgical or medical management .
In doubt do reply
