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?

Hello,

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
