Suggest Remedy For Chronic Ear Blockage And Heaviness In Head
Hello, i am wondering about my cold like symptoms such as stuffy head and plugged ears. I have had issues in the past with alot of wax but not recently. However my right ear seems to feel plugged and i had gone to the doctor once last fall and they said that there is a little bit of fluid and it will go away. I am still having the plugged feeling and dont always hear everything. I feel that i dont wake up to my alarm because of the ear thing. I do also have allergies and they were bad but now i am taking an antihistamine and taking flonase 2 daily. What do you think might be going on and what kind of doctor should i see?
Ear blockage and heaviness in head are seen in the following conditions. 1) Chronic otitis media or middle ear infection 2) Chronic sinusitis 3) Severe allergic rhinitis You need a clinical examination and some tests like examination of ear by an otoscope, indirect laryngoscopy. You need to consult an ENT surgeon.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
