A member asked:
Can my ear be exposed to change in air pressure like going in higher places like baguio(philippines)using a vehicle..doctor said that i have an infection in the canal(white fungi can be seen)(happened after swimming)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: If the infection is just in the canal it will not be effected by changes in pressure. even non-infected ears will feel pressure changes but it will not make the infection worse.
