A member asked:

Good day; i have a 7week old baby that just had her 6week vaccinations 4 days ago. since yesterday shes been very congested, sinuses are blocked.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely a coincidence: At that age nasal congestion is often a reflection of exposure to airborne irritants like dust/smoke/perfumes/cleaning agents. A nasal washout with saline is often helpful. If it is related to any of the vaccines it would not be considered significant.

A member asked:

Can congested sinuses cause temporary hearing loss? Sometimes, hearing in my left ear is less sharp than my right ear--but if I pinch my nose and blow and pop my ears, it clears up for the rest of the day. What's going on?
