What Can Cause Ear Pain By Blowing Nose After Saline Rinse?
I tried a saline rinse(like a neti-pot) for my sinus's, I made the mistake of blowing my nose. It made my ears hurt inside. Now two weeks later one of my ears still hurts. Did i blow the ear drum or is it possible it's infected? I tried the peroxide thing, but i can still feel it. It wakes me up at night too.

First thing to make clear to all people reading this is that pls STOP USING PEROXIDE IN IR EARS.. IT BURNS THE EAR DRUM(tympanic membrane) as regards if query, it could b an infection of the eustachian tube which connects the throat to the ear.. Need to see a ent specialist
