Hi dear ,

As per your query you have fullness in your ear along with vertigo . Well the probable reason for your symptoms is ETD ( eustachian tube dysfunction ) . This is a small tube that balance pressure between oral cavity and middle ear . Due to reasons like infection of upper respiratory track , sinusitis and post nasal drip , mucous goes into eustachian tube and sometimes reach the middle ear also and produce such symptoms . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist again for proper examination . Doctor will examine your ear canals and eardrums, and your nasal passages and the back of your throat. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (amoxicillin) and decongestants . Doctor may also perform Implanting pressure equalization tubes .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
