A member asked:
Could use your help docs! my ears pop when i swallow and yawn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: That is your eustachian tube. The muscles around the tube pull on it when you swallow or yawn. If there is some swelling or inflammation from cold or allergies the tube may cause popping in your ear when you swallow and yawn.
