My ear has been annoying me for a few weeks. I had a tooth infection on the same side as the ear issue but that has been taken care of. My ear feels full, crackles sometimes and twice this week, I have woken up thinking I hear someone moving upstairs then I realize its like a heartbeat or thumping in the same ear. It does not hurt. I have tried an ear wax removal but it does not seem to help. Any suggestions?
With you query, you have not mentioned which side of the tooth has got infected. And coming to your doubt as such there is no connection between the ear and tooth infection unless you have severely infected tooth where the infection spreads to the other structures. Secondly, coming to your crackling sound and fullness of ear just remember whether any water has gone into your ear while taking bath because usually this fullness and crackling happens when there is some fluid in the ear either due to muddle ear infection or entry of water in to the ear. I would suggest you to kindly seek attention from your dentist and ENT specialist as well. Kindly do not Neglect about the problem. Hope this is informative. In very rare cases you see a connection with the upper back or posterior teeth to the other structures especially with ear.
