Why does it hurt to blow your nose and ear?

Nose blowing and earache are considered to be related to excessive nose blowing, acute otitis media, acute tonsillitis and other factors. 1. Generally speaking, the ear pain of nose blowing can not be excluded due to the patient’s excessive nose blowing, because the nose and the middle ear are connected through the Eustachian tube, in the process of nose blowing, the middle ear pressure will increase to make the tympanic membrane bulge out, and pull and stimulate the nerves in the ear will have the symptom of ear pain. 2. Of course, when patients have acute rhinitis, the inflammatory secretions produced by pathogens may enter the middle ear cavity through the Eustachian tube, further inducing acute otitis media, resulting in symptoms of pain in the ear when blowing the nose. 3. When suffering from acute tonsillitis, the glossopharyngeal nerve is relatively sensitive, when blowing the nose can be due to changes in air pressure to stimulate the glossopharyngeal nerve pain, which is involved in causing ear pain. When patients with long-term symptoms of ear pain after blowing their noses, they should pay attention to the need to go to the hospital with the doctor to improve the examination to clarify the diagnosis, and give targeted treatment.
