A member asked:
Had fluid in ear but no infection, pain worsening, popping, and ringing at times, what could it be?!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ear fluid: Allergy may cause this since sinus congestion may lead to swelling of the tube leading to the inner ear. Also, possible is an upper respiratory virus. Usually, this type of fluid can be improved with decongestants. Sometimes, prescription medication, if it persists longer than a few days.
