What Causes Popping In The Ears?

Two weeks ago I went to the doctors and said it felt that there was water in my right ear. I make a lot of wax in ears so I thought perhaps water had gotten behind the wax. Doctor said the wax was minor and had nurse clear it out. Seemed okay after that. Then my right ear starting popping when I yawn or burb. I seem to be burbing a lot lately. I've never been aware of it before. As an additional concern and not sure they are connected my nose seems to feel like it is dripping and in the morning I wake up wanting to itch my wrists. There is no visable rash on wrists. Is this connected? I take blood pressure medication and nothing else. Any ideas, I'd appreciate your thoughts before I go to my doctor again.

Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Popping in the ears commonly occurs as the eustachian tube which connects throat with ear opens and closes when you yawn or swallow.
It can last a while after wax removal.
Dont worry it will go away soon.
The itching in the wrist is no way related to ear wax.
WIshing you great health
Regards
