Question 1

how can i alleviate allergy symptoms (watery eyes, runny nose, clogged ears, sneezing)?

Accepted Answer

Allergy meds: There are many good over the counter allergy medications. If the problem is year round, seeing someone who does provocation/neutralization allergy testing could help the symptoms right away.

Question 2

grand other, 87yo. 5'5" 149lbs. chronic cold symptoms, 10yrs. runny nose, clogged ears, dizziness, cough, hoarse throat. no allergies. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Chronic sinusitis: The symptoms above are consistent with chronic irritation of the nose and throat. This can be caused by chronic sinus infections which also connect to the ear and cause dizziness. A Cat scan of sinuses can help. A more unlikely but possible cause is reflux disease. (GERD) While not typical, gastric fluid coming up in the throat during sleep can cause the symptoms as well. An ENT surgeon can help.

Question 3

can mascara allergy cause clogged ears?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Are you sure it is mascara allergy and not plain old seasonal allergies? Mascara allergy will cause a local rash and rash on the eyelids. Nasal allergies can cause clogged ears.

Question 4

can allergies cause clogged ears?

Accepted Answer

Allergies Clog Ears: Allergies are a very common cause of clogged ears. The pressure behind the eardrums is kept normal by a tube that goes from the middle ear to the back of the nose. Allergies cause swelling in the back of the nose, swelling the opening to that tube closed, causing the ear pressure.

Question 5

clogged ears, can it be allergies?

Accepted Answer

Blocked ears: Ear- blocking does sometimes occur as part of a person's allergy symptoms, because the eustachian tubes can swell when there is allergic inflammation. Ears can also itch, along with nasal and eye itching. Itching is more specific to allergies than ear blocking, because ears can also block with colds or ear infections, or even external problems like wax buildup.

Question 6

clogged ears after a severe allergy attack 2 weeks ago. i was prescribed augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) & claritin d. it hasn't gotten better,  any ideas what to do?

Accepted Answer

Pseudoephedrine: Decongestant may help.  Try Pseudoephedrine and then oxymetozaline.  With the latter be very careful not to use it for more than a day or two because of rebound congestion.  You could also try nasal saline rinses with neti-pot and nasal steroid spray.

Question 7

2 clogged ears sometimes unclog when i tilt my head i have seasonal allergies and a dry cough when i talk/breathe. stuffy nose at night?

Accepted Answer

Eusthacian tube: dysfunction. otc Sudafed will take care of it . Also use such as antihistamin for allergies so the eustachian stays open .

Question 8

i have had irritation in my lower throat for two months now. i haven't really had too much mucus or coughing. i have had some allergies - sneezing, clogged ears and a little stuffy nose but can't shake the lower throat irritation. i don't really cough or

Accepted Answer

A : A sore throat is a pretty non-specific complaint that can have many causes. Most commonly, it is caused by a virus and really shouldn't last more than a few days. A sore throat that persists could be something more serious such as a chronic infection, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and in rare cases, even cancer (especially if you smoke, drink or have been exposed to the hpv virus). Because of this, it is important that you see your doctor or an otolaryngologist (ear nose and throat specialist) to find the cause of your sore throat so it can be properly and effectively treated.

Question 9

i have chronic clogged ears, went to ent nothing even got tested for allergies and nothing, and cat scan. dont know what to do?

Accepted Answer

Blocked ears: Sometimes we can't find a cause for this problem; we have two aerosol nasal sprays that can be tried.The aerosols often get back through the nasal passages to the eustachian tube openings that connect to the throat better than aqueous sprays. They are called zetonna and qnasl.  Some of my patients also find it helpful to take sudafed on the mornings they are blocked. Try a milk free diet too.

Question 10

intermittent head pressure esp behind eyes, clogged ears, tight jaw. cbc, echo, ekg ok. lowering head worsens pressure. allergies? musculoskeletal?

Accepted Answer

Pressure in head: in a young lady may be due to deep sinus problems or Idopathic intracranial hypertension especially if there is a positional component.  I would see a neurologist. Check Iron level, Vit A level Thyroid function if there is evidence of raised intracranial pressure on fundoscopic (eye) exam. also check a CT of the head.. I wish you  best of health.
