Hello Doctor,
I have a crackling sensation in my ear, and when I try to pop it, it hurts. What could be causing this?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It's important not to try to pop your ear forcefully, as this can cause pain and potentially damage your ear. To help relieve the discomfort, here are some recommendations:
1. Avoid violent sneezing, nose clearing, or coughing, as these actions can exacerbate the issue.
2. Reduce your intake of cold water and beverages, as they can aggravate the symptoms.
3. You can take Tab Levosiz M 0-0-1 (one tablet after dinner) for 10 days.
4. Additionally, take Cap ABflo N 1-0-1 (one capsule after breakfast and one after dinner) for 10 days.
5. Use Otrivin nasal drops, 3 drops in both nostrils, three times a day for 5 days to help clear any congestion.
Thanks
