HI.
This is due to asymptomatic middle ear collection of secretions transmitted usually from the nose.
I would advise such a patient to undergo an ENT Endoscopy , relevant blood and urine tests and if required CT scan of the paranasal sinuses/
Do not worry.
Take a proper treatment of antibiotics , antihistamine and anti-inflammatory medicines for 1 to 3 weeks and you may be cured.
Do not blow nose.
