No I have been irragating my sinuses for 10 years I found the same thing that builds in my sinus can affect my ears but when the infection goes down the pressure is off the ear.Mine was an over producing ear wax try some Murine ear wax removal very safe and effective. Dont use it too much you need some ear wax. Good luck! Keep washing your sinuses cannot do that to much avoid sinus infections! Worked for me I use a water pic, salt, water and a special attachement for the end of the water pic got at the pharmacy!

Irrigation may help, but everytime I get a sinus infection, I get the Zithromax (Zmax) plus a shot of Kenalog, which helps with inflammation in the ears and nose. Ask your doctor.

According to the literature in my sinus rinse package, you shouldn't rinse your sinuses if you have a cold or infection. I have had plugged ears from alllergies and chronic sinusitis, and yes, sinus rinsing does help clear my ears. It may take a while, like a week or so, for the ears to clear completely. I recommend the NeilMed Sinus Rinse because it is SUPER easy, and not too expensive. I don't bother to boil the water like they recommend, I just use hot tap water. And I recommend doing it in the shower, so you don't see all the ooky stuff that comes out, and don't have any clean up to worry about.

The nasal douche would help relieve diverse the rigidity you're feeling. you will desire to take some sudafed, which will help additionally. perhaps some claritin or the different antihistamine to dry up the water, however the sudafed could be the superb.
