I'm really worried because after using a Q-tip, my ear got totally clogged and I can barely hear anything now. I tried putting Debrox in on the same day but it didn't help. I even went to Urgent Care and the doctor tried flushing my ear, but still no improvement. Now I need to see an ENT. Is there anything they can do? Can you tell me if there's a chance the hearing loss might not be permanent? I'm not in any pain though.

View allI've had a deviated septum and sinus blocks for almost two years now with constant colds and throat infections. I've been doing saline washes, warm compresses, and steam which help but my doctor recommended sinus drainage and correction surgery. I'm really nervous about surgery especially since I have two little kids and can't afford long recovery time. Will sticking to these home remedies clear the mucus completely or is there still a risk of infection? How long would recovery take if I do go for surgery could it be just a couple days or longer?
Given your long-standing deviated septum and sinus blocks, along with frequent colds and throat infections, it's important to seek professional medical advice. While saline washes can help manage symptoms, they may not address the underlying structural issues contributing to your problems. Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and personalized treatment plan, which may include surgical correction of the deviated septum or other procedures to address sinus blockages.

I had sinus surgery with myringotomy, grommets, and balloon dilation for my eustachian tubes two weeks ago but my ears still feel clogged why is this happening and how long until I get better
It's common to experience ear pressure or a feeling of fullness after sinus surgery, even after procedures like myringotomy, grommets, and balloon dilation of the eustachian tubes. This is often due to swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages and sinuses, which can affect the Eustachian tube's ability to equalize pressure. While this should improve over time, it can take a few weeks to a few months for the swelling to subside and for your ears to feel normal again
