Can Allergies Cause Ear Problems? Yes!

Seasonal or nasal allergies can affect your ears by:
🔹 Blocking the Eustachian tube
🔹 Causing fluid buildup
🔹 Leading to pressure, pain, or temporary hearing loss

Allergic rhinitis can make your ears feel full or plugged.

Treating your allergies may help relieve ear symptoms—see your ENT for advice!

✅ Maging sensitibo at magalang sa kausap anuman ang kanyang edad o kalagayan sa buhay.

📲 Sakaling mangailangan ng kausap, i-dial ang help line ng National Center for Mental Health 1553.
