A member asked:

I have mono, the same day my symptoms started i noticed a pressure difference in my right ear with muffled hearing in it ever since, is this normal?

Yes it can be: Any upper respiratory infection(URI) can cause effects in your ear due to congestion. You may need a decongestant, if it is bothering you. it should clear up in 7-10 days.
