What Causes Cold Along With Muffled Hearing?
Hello, Had a bad cold a few months ago and when my head condition continued, my doctor gave me antibiotics. Hearing was muffled until I found that tilting my head back severely, it cleared. Dr told me to use Flonase, after a bottle, it still has not cleared. Ideas please? Thank You

Hi,
I think you have got sinusitis and the loss of hearing comes from it. You can continue the antibiotics as advised by your doctor. Also, you can use antihistamines such as Benadryl or Cetirizine to ease secretions. Also, decongestants such Pseudoephedrine Phenylephrine can help to heal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
