I seem to have fluid in my ears from sinus drainage and they pop. Sometimes they seem to close up and sounds are muffled? Ears with fluid and popping
Deep inside one of my ears it feels like fluid and pressure are there. Popping ears does not help at all. Not pain; just a fluid feeling, occasional pulses, but very deep. What does this sound like, and when should it warrant a trip to the doctor?
If your ears are popping could it be a infection? I feel very tried and having some dizziness i don't feel sick. Sould i call my doctor?
When I play with my kids and they laugh close to my ear it sounds like a broken speaker. No pain and sometimes ringing. What is the best way to drain this fluid out? Are these symptoms tied together? Sinuses feel clogged even after sinus rinse?
