sneezydiva 11-19-2005, 02:12 AM I think it is a sign that you either have a sinus infection, or some type of sinus blockage. The water has added to the pressure and that is why you feel it in your ears. If you roll your head facing down, from one shoulder to another you should be able to get the water out and relieve the pressure. And see a doctor as soon as you can.

During your sinus rinse, you might have gotten some "sinus rinse" in your Eustachian tubes, which are located near the back of your throat, and lead right into your middle ear. hyper79 11-20-2005, 07:31 AM I agree with beerzoids, if you swallow while flushing, its opens the passages of your eustachian tubes and can allow water in, it should pass soon.had that happen a few times. jennyVee 11-20-2005, 10:45 AM Oh my yes that must be what happened, i also startd my antibiotics and the pain in my ear has improved, but right after doin the rine my ear hurts so much an I feel a pressure in the bac of my head, are there ear tubes back there too? jennyVee 11-20-2005, 10:47 AM also my left lymph node on the side where my ear hurts was so swollen and painful now its better after my 2nd day on the antibiotics. Thanks guys diva_dynamite 11-28-2005, 05:16 PM I'm glad the antibiotics seem to be helping, but I thought I'd post a personal experience just in case it helps you or anyone else. I had my sinuses surgically cleaned out in October. I've been using the NeilMed bottle 2-3 times a day since, filled with an antibiotic solution. Right after the surgery, I had earaches (pressure in my ears). I used OTC ear wax removal drops, and found that I had more blockage than I thought. I think my blocked ears weren't noticeable to me because my sinuses were so bad. When the doctor cleaned my sinuses, it made the ear pressure more noticeable. Using the ear wax drops helped. |
