Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of heaviness in ears which seems to be due to eustachian tube dysfunction/sinusitis. I would suggest you to take nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should put otogesic ear drops in ear. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin for 5 days. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get otoscopic examination and paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
