Why when i blow my nose my sinuses block my ear passage when i'm sick?

Eustachian Tube: The eustachian tube is also involved in your illness. When you blow your nose you force air and mucous up that tube. The inflammation from that causes the food to not function well, it closes or becomes closed.
