A member asked:

My 4 year old has cold & lymph nodes swollen. in the past 4 days he said twice that while blowing his ear hurts and few seconds later no pain,no fever?

Clearing eustachian: Your son is likely having some congestion of his eustachian tube- tube that connects middle ear to throat. As he blows his nose he clears his eustachian tube. If ear pain persists he should be checked by his physician.
