Can one ear congestion heal on its own?

It is possible that one ear is blocked, which may be caused by water in the ear canal, etc., and the feeling of blockage may heal after the ear canal is dry. It may also be caused by poor function of the Eustachian tube, that is, the poor function of the tubes in the ear, middle ear, and nasopharynx, which leads to negative pressure in the middle ear and causes a feeling of ear tightness. It usually occurs after an upper respiratory tract infection or cold, or after fatigue or cold.

After taking a plane or climbing a mountain, this kind of Eustachian tube dysfunction may also heal on its own, and if it cannot be **, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and **. If ear stuffiness is accompanied by hearing loss, try to go to the hospital in time to prevent sudden deafness, and it may delay the time, resulting in poor efficacy. Tinnitus and ear stuffiness may or may not heal on their own.

There are many causes of tinnitus, some patients only have mild tinnitus caused by cerumen blockage in the deep ear, or due to secretory otitis media, when the tinnitus disappears or the upper respiratory tract infection improves, the cerumen in the ear will disappear automatically, and the tinnitus will disappear. Another part of the patients may develop secretory otitis media, long-term poor turnover, and even middle ear effusion, and some patients may have neuropathic hearing loss, which requires further active medication**.

Whether the blockage of one ear can heal on its own depends on the cause of the blockage.

If one ear is blocked due to the presence of a large amount of cerumen in the ear canal, or the patient is swimming or bathing, it can be self-healing, and when the cerumen and fluid in the patient's ear canal are discharged, the performance of ear congestion will improve on its own.

However, if the patient has unilateral ear canal obstruction, which is caused by an ear canal effusion caused by acute purulent otitis media, or a perforated eardrum caused by ear canal trauma, it is unlikely to heal on its own, and such patients need to be treated with antibiotics or glucocorticoids**.

Congestion in one ear caused by water ingress into the external auditory canal can heal on its own, but congestion in one ear caused by colds, inflammation, infection, or foreign body blockage cannot heal on its own.

Symptoms vary slightly depending on different types of otitis media. Typical symptoms of suppurative otitis media include earache, hearing loss, discharge of water in the ear canal, pus, and even bleeding. Secretory otitis media is mostly manifested as ear pain, ear tightness, ear blockage, hearing loss or tinnitus.

In addition to the above typical symptoms, it can also be accompanied by fever, headache and other systemic symptoms. Symptoms: 1. Earache is more common in acute purulent otitis media, and the pain is more obvious when the tympanic membrane is hyperemia, and if it is accompanied by purulent discharge in the middle ear, it can be manifested as severe pain.

Some patients will experience a feeling of ear congestion. 2. Patients with suppurative otitis media with flowing water or purulent ear canal, when the eardrum is perforated, watery, bloody or purulent discharge will flow out of the ear canal. Ear canal discharge can be persistent or intermittent, with the former being more common in middle ear cholesteatomas, especially when the ear canal discharge is like tofu residue with a foul odor, and the latter is more common in chronic simple otitis media.

3. Most patients with hearing loss will be accompanied by varying degrees of hearing loss, especially patients with middle ear cholesteatoma, because the ossicular chain is destroyed by cholesteatoma, the hearing loss is more serious. 4. Some patients with tinnitus will be accompanied by low-key or high-profile tinnitus. In patients with secretory otitis media, when the nose is pinched and the air is puffed, the "sound of air passing through the water" in the ear will be heard.

Note: Some patients may have symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.
