For nearly 2 weeks my right ear has felt blocked and painful and the right side of my throat really dry and feels weird when I swallow, like there is a hair or something at the back of throat.
I went to drs last week she had a look and said it was completely blocked with wax and to put drops in and have it syringed. A few days after using the drops a load of wax came out in shower. No change in the blocked feeling so I assumed there must be a load more wax in there. Went to have ear syringed this morning and nurse said all wax was gone but eardrum, looked a bit red so she made me an appt with the duty Dr. - Just seen dr who said there is no sign of infection but that my Eustachian tube looks blocked and to take sudafed. I this doesn't work I have to go back and they will try something else.
My question is, is it normal to have the one sided throat symptom with this - its not sore as such just uncomfortable and makes me feel like something is stuck there on the same side as my blocked ear. Its really annoying and I can't remember what it feels like to swallow normally.
Thanks
