I had swollen sinuses, a lot of drainage. fluid pressure in my ears is uncomfortable. what can i do for that?

Ear tube dysfunction: When eustachian tubes are not functioning properly due to nasal/sinus congestion, this can lead to plugging in the ears. Immediate relief can occur with a nasal decongestant spray like oxymetazoline, but should not be used more than 3-5 consecutive days. Oral decongestants such as sudafed can also bring some relief but have side effects like insomnia and irritability.
