ear problem?

Question

i have a runny nose right now, and only my right ear feel like it's being muffled. Like when you're elevated, and your ears pop, only my right ear is. Does my runny nose has anything to do with it ? or is it because i listen to loud music on a ...10 dollars Toshiba earphone ?

Answer 1

If your runny nose is caused by a cold, the muffled ear is normal. Your nose, sinuses, and ears are connected, so an infection in one area can affect or infect another area. If your ear and runny nose bother you, a decongestant can help. Allergies might cause it too. Benadryl, Alavert, and Claritin are allergy medicines that might help if the stuffiness is allergy-related. Be gentle with blowing your nose, blowing too hard can damage your ears. Your ear problem is probably not from listening to music, unless you had the muffled feeling before the runny nose. However, don't listen to music that's too loud, especially on ear buds (the earphones that go IN your ear), you can permanently lose your hearing. Take periodic breaks from listening to give your ears a chance to recover. The price of the earphones probably doesn't matter. The volume of the music, the distance from the source to your ears, and how long and often you listen are the most important things that affect your hearing.

Answer 2

It's because of your runny nose. Your ears and nose are connected, so when your nose is backed up, your ears become stuffy, too. Blow your nose often, but gently. And at night, sleep on two pillows. The elevation will drain out the mucus in your nose. You should also take a decongestant, which will help dry out the fluid in your ears as well. Claratin is a good one. Get well soon! =)

Answer 3

It's more than likely allergies and the muffled ear thing happens when the tube connecting your nose to your middle ear clogs and air can not get to your middle ear, which the causes it to fill up with liquid. Since sound can not vibrate through liquid, you are starting to lose your hearing. It's not permanent. The doctor will give your allergy medication and nose spray and it will clear up on its own.

Answer 4

i'm guessing it could be perforated. at the same time as the rigidity replaced the ear drum bodily. they grant you with nasal decongestants and propose that you chew gum. at the same time as a doctor prescribes antibiotics, continuously take the comprehensive prescriptions. do not take it basically till you sense more desirable helpful. The micro organism will nevertheless be there and turns into data against the antibiotic. then you might want to have a resistant sort of micro organism. it truly is how the resistant sorts of tuberculosis shaped.

Answer 5

You probably have fluid in your ear which has occured because your sinuses are congested. If it begins to hurt &/or you start a fever you may have an ear infection.

Answer 6

when your sinuses are stuffed up or runny it affects the ear canal because the sinuses are all around that area. There is pressure in your sinuses and head and ears.

Answer 7

You have either a cold or allergies and it's draining into your ear. You could have ear infection. You might want to get it checked out.

Answer 8

i think you have a cold and it has turned into an ear infection. you need to go to the dr and see if you need an antibiotic.
