Ear congestion after sinus infection?

Hi Libby - whenever I've had ear infections I get the clicky thing - drives me mad - especially swollowing, yawning etc but sometimes it just clicks away all by itself. And sometimes I get it when I've got a cold or when I had sinusitis this year. I think once you've had a sinus or ear infection then you are prone to getting these symptoms. If you get any pain I'd go back to the doctor but otherwise just steam and patience and it should eventually go away.

HI Leebee,

So you don't think it means ive an ear infection or anything? I have no pain in the ear its just this pressure and tinitus now and again and today I have an occasional pain at the crown of my head again on the left side, it comes and goes aswell. This is driving me mad!! I thought I was better then the last 2 days all the pressure is back:-(

I am stil getting the balloon feeling, has anyone else had this for a while after a cold? just feels like my ear is inflating then delfating every so often?

maybe try your gp? my friend had to get tubes at 33, just wouldnt heal without them

you can have pressure, like when your in an airplane, my kid needed tubes for that.

I see no reason why you can't have them checked
