A member asked:
Does swallowing clear mucus cause earache and a ringing sound in the ears?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, but: if you have a lot of mucus you may have congestion in your ear causing increased pressure, which can hurt and cause the ringing sensation. If you develop a fever or have worsening symptoms go see your doctor or urgent care.

Earache: No. You may have Eustacian tube dysfunction or ear infection. Everyone swallows clear mucus routinely, like your saliva.
