Ears pop: A ct of sinuses might miss swelling of the eustachian tube -eto- if they are not specifically looking for this.
Ask your doctor about using nasal sprays so that they go to the eustachian tube. Headache might be due to this
ask your doctor if using my product clear.Ease which is designed for eto - you melt this in mouth between cheek and gums. See www.Hydromedonline.Com.

Question 5

my upper throat hurts when i swallow and i think my throat isnt swollen and my throat is not all white it hurts when i swallow and my ears pop too when i take asprin it eases the pain but it wears off and
wakes me up at night and hurts as well

Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I can't diagnose your symptoms. However you may have congestion causing your eustachian tube to dysfunction. The eustacian tube drains fluids and pressure from the inside of the ear into the throat. Too much congestion can create pressure against the tube, so that it shuts off.  In your case, your tubes may only be partially closed off, so that that things like swallowing, opening your mouth or yawning may open it up. You can take oral decongestants for this and/or consider using a nasal spray like advil (not to be used more than twice a day for a maximum of 3 to 5 days).

Question 6

i have a really sore throat, it hurts like crazy to swallow, ear's hurt and cannot pop, one side of my throat is bigger, hurts to eat and drink.

Accepted Answer

Dr. can check throat: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin can help decrease throat pain.

Accepted Answer

Ear popping: May be normal or abnormal. Could represent mild ET dysfunction. See ENT if persists for ear examination and nasopharyngeal endoscopy. DC smoking, alcohol intake, avoid dust and airway irritants. If you have allergic rhinitis, could try zyrtec. Flonase has helped about 15% with these symptoms.

Question 10

why do my ears keep popping? im not changing elevation, just laying in bed.they keep popping when i swallow or yawn.

Accepted Answer

Eustachian tube: Your eustachian tube is intermittently being plugged and unplugged.  The tube can be very sensitive to swelling such as occurs with viral infection, allergy, or just irritation.  Not a major problem if only intermittent and not associated with other symptoms.
