Why does my ear feel and sounds like it has air being blown into it?

Question

I have had a sinus problem for 2 weeks but this feels aweful is there anything cheap i can do without a doctor. thanks to all

Answer 1

Sounds like you may have had an ear infection and the pressure made your ear drum rupture. It will heal on your own, but its best to get the ear drops that are for antibiotic. If nothing else, gently pack your ear with cotton to keep the air from doing that. It can be quite painful. I had that happen.

Answer 2

You can buy drops over the counter at your local chemist shop. May be a build up of wax, or have you been swimming lately, or got water in your ear some other way ? Try the drops first, see if they clear your ear. If it feels the same in 4 or 5 days, visit your doctor. Good luck.,,,,P.S...If you've had a sinus infection, this causes a build up of wax, like any other infection does

Answer 3

You probably developed an ear infection. You could wait a couple of days to see if it gets better, but there is really nothing over the counter you can use. (I've had many ear infections in my life) You don't want to let it go too long though, because ear infections can damage your hearing if not treated properly. (liquids in the ear damage the small bones).

Answer 4

GO TO A DOCTOR!!! Sorry but I am a chronic sufferer of ear infections and that sounds like fluid behind the ear drum. This can lead to rupture of the ear drum which is not only horribly painful but can leave you deaf. (I have partial hearing loss from ruptures and infection) You probably need to be on anti-biotics.

Answer 5

Do nasal lavage to clear sinuses. pinch of salt in 1/2 cup warm water, sniff it up your nose. (with your head over the sink) That will drain sinuses (you should have done it two weeks ago, instead of whatever you did do) Eustacean tube might be infected from the junk you blew in there.
