Specializes in Head & Neck Surgery

The : The inflammation in the sinuses and nasal passages is likely still causing edema in the eustachian tube that equalizes pressure in the middle ear. This edema will cause popping/cracking in the ear with chewing, talking, swallowing, anything that makes the palate move. Although annoying, it usually goes away on its own with time. You may be able to speed it along with otc decongestants.
