Ears pressured?

Question

about two weeks ago I was sick the doctor said it was a virus I had ear pain and a sore throat. My doctor said I didn't have a ear infection and told me to take sudafed and use saline nasal spray. I felt better for about a week but now the ear pressure has returned and my throat is a bit sore. What's the best way to relieve the pressure in my ears? And could it be allergies?

Answer 1

it is more likely that you have developed effusions behind your ear drums and the best treatment is wait and see unless symptoms fail to resolve or worsen, gargles with mild warm water and steaming of the sinuses are good home remidies though, good luck
