I've had flu like symptoms for a week now fever is gone body pain gone, but sinus infection is still here and now ear is clogged. Was on my eat to doctor when I started tingling everywhere arms legs stomach chest head mouth tongue it seemed hard to move my arms my hands were pretty much curled upwards but I could use them it just seemed hard and I was sweating like crazy. When I got home I went straight to bed and don't feel tingly anymore but that was really scary i didnt make it to the docs office

Hello

Thanks for cosulting H.C.M.

I read your query regarding sinus infection, clogged ears, tingling and sweating all these symptoms came after your flu.

After analysing your symptoms and co-relating with disease process, it appears your flu fever had involved the sinuses and throat. As throat has connected to ear by a tubular connection called as eustachian tube, which is responsible for carrying the infection upto your ears, as soon as this eustachian tube gets blocked by infective swelling, ventillation of ears suffers and gives feeling of clogged ears.

You had also felt tingling and sweating which I supposed was due to toxemia of viral infection.

To treat it you should take-

1- Tab cetrizine.

2- Mucolytic & decongestant.

3- Steam inhalation.

4- Tab paracetamol.

I hope your query is answered.

Regards.
