Although allergies are a common cause of nasal congestion, they are not the only reason symptoms linger. Structural concerns, chronic inflammation, or sinus blockage can all contribute to congestion that does not improve with typical allergy treatments.

A thorough evaluation can help identify the true cause of sinus symptoms so care can be targeted and effective.

Eustachian tube dysfunction occurs when the tube that helps regulate pressure between the middle ear and the nose does not function properly. This can lead to ear fullness, pressure, muffled hearing, or ongoing discomfort.

When these symptoms persist, they are often linked to underlying inflammation or nasal conditions that need targeted treatment, not just temporary relief.

If ear pressure or fullness is not going away, schedule an evaluation with Dr. Cohen to identify the cause and discuss treatment options.
