Pressure in the ear can be caused by a buildup of fluid or air pressure. In babies when they lie flat the underdeveloped Eustachian tubes do not drain properly and a buildup of fluid can cause an ear infection. In adults improper drainage is not as likely, but can still lead to infection. Air pressure usually builds when the barometric pressure changes quickly, such as an impending storm or air plane trip. Stuffy noses are often the result of irritated capillaries or small blood vessels in the nose. The irritation can come from anything from Allergies to minor infections to a change in blood pressure. Inflammation can be lessoned by anti inflammatories like anything from cold air to acetaminophen to doctor prescribed cortisone, etc.
