A doctor has provided 1 answer
Congestion Tx: Congestion through nasal passages can cause ear popping and pressure in head during any straining movement. Options include oral decongestant (can increase bp, agitation), nasal decongestant (limit to 3 dy tx), hypertonic nasal rinses. Limit air irritants/allergens, and consider antihistamine tx if related to allergens. See dr if increased pain, fever, or no improvement.
