Nasal Allergy
You may have nasal or upper respiratory allergy. To understand this condition better, you need to have some understanding of how the nose works for you.

The job of the nose is to get the air you breathe ready to be received by the lungs. The nasal passages and the sinuses (the small tubes that lead through the nose into the spaces behind the face) are all lined with a thin delicate covering called "mucous membrane." This membrane is filled with blood vessels and mucous glands to help in the filtering process. If the nose has done its job correctly, the air will be of the proper temperature and humidity, and free of foreign materials, when it reaches the lungs.

Dust, molds, and pollens from trees, grasses and weeds, as well as other foreign materials, may be in the air. The blood vessels and mucous glands in the nasal lining, aided by the tiny hair structures in the nose (cilia), are all members of your air-purifying team. This remarkable work is accomplished in the split second it takes for the air to pass through the nose into the lungs. Actually, we could not survive without this process.

If you have nasal allergy, this system has broken down. The mucous membrane "over-reacts" to the demands put upon it; it swells or shrinks; it pours out too much fluid or not enough. A variety of symptoms can result. Usually the patient experiences nasal blockage and/or drainage.

Allergic conditions are thought to be related to the immune system in the human body. Allergic reactions are probably the result of reduced immunity to substances the body encounters.

There are basically 3 ways to approach the problem of nasal allergy:

You can ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist. Whether they know it or not, this is what most people with nasal allergy do. If the condition is mild, of course, this is probably a reasonable approach.
If symptoms are more pronounced, occur often, and produce complications like sinus infections or ear problems, some specific help may be necessary. They may take decongestants or antihistamines, many of which can be obtained "over the counter," without a prescription. If a problem like sinus infection does develop, antibiotics may have to be prescribed occasionally; however, for a lot of allergic individuals whose problems are not too serious, this self-treatment is relatively satisfactory.
For patients whose nasal allergy symptoms are severe, occur repeatedly, and keep the patient uncomfortable much of the time, professional treatment is often necessary. In terms of time loss, it can actually be a more economical thing to do than ignoring the problem, or attempting to self-treat it.

The throat and the ears are connected by the Eustachian tube, so if you have an infection in your sinus it drips in the back of your throat into the lungs. It also can spread into the ear through the Eustachian tube.
Gargle with warm salt water three times a day to stop the infection in your ears. Also ask your doctor to prescribe
Nystatin. This will get rid of any bacterial infection.
Let me know how it works.

I would suggest Turmeric is the best remedy for this.Another useful remedy is mixture of Dry Ginger powder with Black Pepper , 2 gm each. Consume twice daily for 10 days. You will be ok. Try to find Praan Rakshak Churna or Aller-G Support capsules for your problem through google. Arjun tea is also good for you. Try to find through google.

try flonase. ear infection occurs from improper drainage--not from excessive blowing. you might also try sudafed
