My sinuses and ears have been plugged up? will it go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should: It should once the swelling goes down. Swelling in the nose often causes clogged sensation in the ears. Using medication to make the nose better, like an antihistamine, decongestant, or a few days of afrin (oxymetazoline) may make both better.
