A member asked:
Symptoms: sharp ear pain unless taking tylenol, (acetaminophen) throbbing, slight hearing loss. no fever or drainage. slight sinus congestion. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eustacean tube dysfx: When the nasal sinuses are congested, it may block the opening of the Eustacean tube, which connects from the back of the nasopharynx to the middle ear and cause pain. At times, fluid may also accumulate. If there is significant pain or hearing loss, see your doctor to evaluate for a middle ear infection. Saline nasal spray may help to alleviate congestion without endangering your pregnancy
