I Tried ‘hydraSense’ to Clear My Sinuses and Hurt My Tinnitus Ear?! Help?!

[Vin]

I was having chest congestion at night and my GP examined me and thinks it is post nasal drip because it goes away during the day and my chest is clear.

I went to the Pharmacy and they recommended a nasal rinse and decongestant. I said I would start with trying the hydraSense Nasal Rinse - medium spray.

I followed the directions, leaned over the sink, tilted my head to the left and right and squirted in the opposite nostril. As soon as I lifted my head, I could feel water in my ears so I gently blew my nose and yeah, a ton of mucus came out but my ears were crackling.

Now my tinnitus ear is clicking and popping with mild pressure feeling. Has this happened to anyone? Is it just water stuck in there that will go away?

So now on top of the tinnitus in my left ear I have pressure, clicking and some pain.

I am so pissed off at myself for even thinking of putting a rinse that would be connected to my ear! Grrrrr!

I guess I will go to a walk-in tomorrow. It has been about 4 days.

I was just starting to habituate but now this is driving me crazy.

Any help?! Advice? Experience with this?! Ugh!

Hi there, I know you posted this quite some time ago, but I had almost the exact same experience using the HydraSense Medium Stream nasal spray last night. I now have pressure in my ear, slight pain, and tinnitus, which I'm quite concerned about. Did yours ever resolve, and what was the timeline like? What did the doctor say, and do you have any advice for me? I hope you're doing well.
