Yes...all that stuff inside your head is connected: your ears, and nasal passage, your throat and tear ducts. I wouldn't suggest taking antihistamines (benedryl) for this as it will just dry out your passages more and make it more unconfortable. But you can up your fluid intake (no sodas) and force water. This will think the mucous in the passages and make them flow better. Also taking ibuprophen or asprin with food will help with the inflammation. If you have to take something for post nasal drip, ask your doctor for a recommendation. Good luck.

Yes. The ears, nose, and throat are all connected. There are several over-the-counter remedies that treat symptoms. However, you should identify if you are suffering from allergies, a cold, or some other ailment.
Once it is determined what is causing the congestion, you can pick up the correct medication to relieve the symptoms.
Good luck and feel better.

Yes, that is usually because I have a head cold. And the ears are connected with that head. You can wait out the cold and deal with it or take a decongestant for you congestion.

when you get a flu or a cold , your mucus membranes get swollen , part of that is the connection between your ears and your throat that equalizes the pressure in your ear ( Eustachian tube ) , you need to get some decongestant , either oral or nasal spry

yes, it does happen. If you do try benadryl, be careful...that stuff knocks me out! And that's with only taking one pill.
