Sudden onset of stuffy ear 3 days ago. also causing ringing with louder sounds. infection? tinnitus? hx - cleft palate & perf ear drum. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: Given your past history of cleft palate and perforated eardrum, you should not wait when you have a new onset of ear problems to be evaluated. It is impossible to tell what is going on without an examination of your ear. See your doctor ASAP. Good luck!
