Question
I had recently been to the doctor ha my right ear syringed. After that I couldn't sleep at night because I would constantly wake up to pop my right ear. My right ear feels like I have a lot of pressure. It sort of hurts me eyes, and around my ear feels like it has a lot of pressure. During the day I feel okay, but my right ear feels heavy. If I lay down my right ear clogs, and I pop it by yawning. Please, help me.
Hi Vadnie,
It is very possible that some damage occurred to the middle ear during the lavage. You need to consult an ear specialist and have your hearing and middle ear evaluated to determine any damage.
Hope this helps.
