Case description

Ear congestion is a common complaint. Often it's from an upper respiratory infection. This may result in middle ear fluid and a change in position of the eardrum. If this persists, diagnostic nasal endoscopy should be performed to rule out obstruction of the eustachian tube. Treatment includes decongestants, antibiotics and sometimes surgical drainage.
