What Causes Clogged Ears And Hoarse Voice?
Since March when the weather changed and allergies started, I've two things happening. My ears continue to feel clogged and I have to pop them to hear clear and then a hoarse voice. Again, these happen off and on since then. I'm in no pain but it's just irritating. Should I go to an ear/nose/throat specialist to have it checked? I think it's just allergies due to some fluctuation in the weather. Thank you for your help.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can consider treating yourself at home first. If there is no improvement, then you can see a doctor for assessment.
Home treatment would include the use of oral antihistamines and decongestants. Topical steroid nasal sprays would also be helpful.
Examples of nasal sprays are: nasonex, avamys, flonase, nasocort, rhinonase
I hope this helps
