My father had Leukemia back in 2005. He is now in remission, but is complaining about his ears being stuffed up. Could this be due to the chemotherapy...even though it is a year later? Or could it be due to a medicine he is on??? He just recently got a new water pill. Or could it just be a sinus infection?!? Pleaseee someone!!!

It could be many things, but the only way he will know for sure it to see his doctor. It could easily something as simple as ear wax, so try not to think the worst and stay calm and let the experts sort it out.
Yes it could be sinus problems, he will need to see his doc for treatment.
Its impossible to say if its due to chemo or the other drugs your dad is taking, there are literally thousands of drugs and some of them do affect hearing, but without specifics no comment os possible.

IT is not clear !! having such symptom is not enough. the ear has to be examined to find out . there is possibility that it is simple ear infection but having this history a doctor should take a look and run some tests to make sure every thing is alright.

It could be the water pills he's on, as it can make his ears feel like he's been swimming, make a mention his next doctor visit, and should this problem be affecting his hearing, get him to a doctor asap, and this may be reversible, by simple procedure.
Good Luck â¥

Take this advice from someone in the medical field, If you have yet to do so, Get your grandfather to his Physician and Explain these symptoms. Do this because this could be signs of something else serous or may not be, But either way he needs medical advice/care. Hope all goes well.

Sounds like sinus infection. He should talk to his physician though!
