Ive been having some trouble clearing my ears. The problem is especially my left ear, which is also the side my cancer and radiation tx was on. I do have sinus problems and take prescription nose spray Advil cold and sinus for the congestion. This is probably due to the radiation as I dont have a cold or allergies and this has lasted now 6 weeks, last time my sinuses bothered me for 5 months. I couldnt dive about 7 times due to not being able to clear my left ear. Has this happened to anybody else? Any suggestions?
