Q. Does nasal allergy have any role in ear discharge?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, nasal allergies can cause ear discharge in a few different ways.
First of all, it's important to understand that the nose and ears are connected through the Eustachian tube. This tube is responsible for connecting the ear to the back of the throat and allowing air pressure inside both organs to remain equalized. When you suffer from a nasal allergy, your sinuses become irritated and inflamed due to an allergic reaction. This can result in increased pressure in your nose which then causes fluid buildup within your Eustachian tubes leading to congestion or blockage resulting in a decrease in air pressure on either side of this connection. As a response, fluid may build up behind this blocked area where it can accumulate and eventually lead to an infection causing drainage from the middle ear canal or resulting in otitis media (middle ear infection). If left untreated, this type of condition could potentially lead to hearing loss as well as other complications relating to chronic inflammation within these areas.
In addition, depending on severity level of your allergies you might also be more prone developing sinus infections when congested due bacteria growth inside already restricted passageways caused by swollen membranes during severe allergic reactions - further increasing potentiality for liquid leakage into outter ear regions alongside other symptoms related directly with this condition such as vertigo combined with dizziness episodes among other gastrointestinal issues which could additionally compound onto existing situation worsening overall outcome thus making timely diagnosis critical factor towards recovery process establishment while avoiding long-term effects on personal wellbeing associated with prolonged exposure antibiotics treatment regimes..
