What Causes Severe Congestion And Pressure In The Ear While Having Sinus Infection?
I have a severe ear/sinus infection. My left ear is full of fluid and pressure. I m on my 1st day of antibiotics and decongestants but now my ear has started to drain blood. What does this mean? And will exposing myself to loud music at a party damage my ear? Also what is the best way to sleep?

the ear nose and throat and the sinuses are all connected..so an infection elsewhere may cause congestion and pain in other parts ...the antibiotics and decongestant will start having an effect after a couple of days..so don't worry about the blood..till then..if persists show a doctor ..he ll check your ear...also loud music may be unpleasant at this time but would not be harmful
