5. Ear Pressure
If you have itchy ears and are feeling some pressure inside them, it may be a sign of sinusitis. Some people ever experience fluid that leaks from the ears. As the body starts to fight off an illness or tries to remove an allergen from the body, it produces fluid to help plush it out. The fluid can get stuck in the
Eustachian tubes, and cause pressure to build behind the eardrum. Some people also have severe ear pain, pain under or behind the ear, and pain in their jaw and gums as a result of the fluid buildup in the ears and sinuses.
A warm washcloth behind the ears, ear drops, and allergy medication can help make the fluid pass more easily, so there are less buildup and less pressure. Some people require medicated ear drops to help ease the pain associated with rhinitis and its effects on the ears.
