Can hay fever cause ear problems?
Yes, hay fever can cause ear problems. It leads to swelling in the tubes that connect your nose to your ears, which can create pressure or fullness. This may also affect hearing or raise the risk of ear infections.
Key points:
- Hay fever causes inflammation that blocks ear tubes.
- Blocked tubes lead to ear fullness or pressure.
- Pressure can cause muffled hearing.
- Blockage raises infection risk in the middle ear.
