What Causes Earache After A Nasal Irrigation Procedure?
I used a nasal irrigation system yesterday. All the water did not come out. When I blew my nose I my eardrums popped on two occasions. I cannot blow my nose without popping my ears. Today my ears are sore. One side of my sinuses are plugged. About an hour after I irrigated, I bent down to tie my shoes and water pored from my nose. Do you think I should stop using the nasal irrigation system?

Hello,
No, there is a connection between your nose and ear, these symptoms are there for everyone.
If you use nasal irrigation symptoms, then if you have sinus you will spread infection from nose to ear. So if your ears are sore, then it also got an infection.
Better take any antibiotics to subside your infection or else the infection. Do not use irrigation symptoms until your nose infection subside.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
