When the weather gets cold, if you are not careful, it is easy to catch cold. Do you feel the ear nausea, tinnitus, or cold more uncomfortable than usual, but after a good cold, it returns to normal?

Don’t worry, your ears will feel stuffy when you have a cold, because your eustachian tube is blocked~

The ear is divided into three parts: inner, middle and outer. Our nasopharyngeal has a very small tube leading to the middle ear, which is called the eustachian tube. Under normal circumstances, the eustachian tube is unobstructed. If the inflammation invades the eustachian tube during a cold, the eustachian tube is blocked and dysfunctional, the pressure inside and outside the middle ear is uneven, and the exudate increases. If these things can not be discharged through the eustachian tube, it will cause tympanic membrane invagination, middle ear effusion and secretory otitis media. At this time, the cold patient may feel tinnitus, tinnitus, and hearing loss. It’s like the feeling of tight ears when swimming.

So is there any way to help relieve the symptoms of nausea in the ear?

Press the ear with your palm and release;Or take a deep breath, pinch your nose, shut up, blow your mouth, and hear the sound of “sniping” your ears. Both methods can be used to massage the tympanic membrane or blow air into the middle ear, changing the pressure inside and outside the middle ear to smooth the ears. In addition, chewing gum, doing swallowing, yawning can also help the eustachian tube open, relieve the symptoms of nausea in the ear.

However, it should be noted that if these conditions do not alleviate the earplugs, they must go to the hospital as soon as possible.
