The time in which an individual's ears could feel clogged after being on an airplane in conjunction with having a sinus infection can vary depending upon the severity of the sinus infection as well as the altitude and duration of the flight. If the ears do not feel like they have 'popped' with 2-3 days, one should go to see their primary care physician as an antibiotic may be needed to treat the sinus infection to allow drainage.
Take a decongestant and chew gum.
yes.if the infection spreads up the eustachian tubes to the inner ears, where your sense of balance is based it can cause dizziness.
Pressure in the ears and eyes is usually caused by a sinus infection. A sinus infection is an infection of the nasal cavities that causes headaches, pressure and cold like symptoms.
Yes. I have had it prescribed to me twice by ER doctors. Once for a sinus infection which worked within 24 hours . ( first one I've ever had and hope to god I don't have another sinus infection ) the second time for strep throat and two ear infections at the same time. Throat is doing better after 2 days and ears no longer hurt but still have minimal hearing from both ears. On the plus side my ears are itching inside which usually mean I will get my hearing back soon.
Yes a sinus infection can make you feel dizzy. The reason for this is that a sinus infection often causes the mucus membranes (skin inside the nose/sinuses) to become inflamed or swollen. This causes congestion and increases mucus production. When the sinuses become congested they can then affect your ears, causing dizziness, as the ears are responsible for maintaining your sense of balance.

There is not much you can do about it. I recently had a cold that clogged my right ear and still clogged after a week. I went to see an ENT and the only thing he recommend ed me was the use of steroids otherwise it will go away by itself but it can take up to 3 months. the steroids only will clear up the ears in 6 weeks but they have so many side effects that is not worth the risk. **Steroids are for reducing swelling or inflammation of tissue** There is a solution you can try at home with out going to the Dr to reduce swollen sinus tissue deep in the inner ear canal and eustachian tube which causes this problem. The swelling keeps sinus mucus or infection pus clogged in the inner ear and can reduce hearing, cause pain, or just be very annoying. I invented it, and it DOES WORK.
Yes, you should go see a doctor. You might have a sinus infection.
some of those symptoms
For clogged ears, sweet oil always works and castrol oil for the cold, something a little old school.
Pregnancy and fluid in the ears are unrelated to the best of my knowledge. The fluid is caused by a build up in the sinuses, after a cold or sinus allergy. It can cause dizziness, pain and infection if it does not drain on it's own.
Yes.
