Once the rhinovirus has set in it can cause you to experience other symptoms as well. Since the nasal passages, eyes, and ears are all connected, it goes without saying that your ears can be affected by the virus as well. It may seem like there is pressure built up within the ears. You may notice that your ears feel full. You may also struggle with hearing as your ears may become clogged.
The popping of the ears may occur during this time as well. One of the best things that you can do when you are suffering from a cold is to make sure that you are getting enough rest. It is also important to eat healthy foods that can help your body fight off the infection. If you develop severe ear pain it is important to make sure that you see a doctor determine the cause as a cold may cause an ear infection to develop.
