What Is That Itching?

Hello
I developed itching inside of my ear with T. It is like the itching in my inner ear. And the crackling sound when I swallow is still continuing. May all these things be related?

 

I got the itchy too. It is both ears. It is probably infection, that is what it says online.
I mean the whole ears, one inch or more down inside. It quit. It might be a drug allergy to Advil in my case. That is what I am using for the ear pain. Nothing stops the ear pain not even tyenol. But you are suffering this like me, in hell. I have the flu
You can go from there. What did I do for it.
Put Vitamin e in the ears. But do your research. I am not responsible what you put in your ears. It work for me, but spike the tinnitus loud.
I don't have crackling.

 

Don't worry. I'm not a person who does something without any permission from my doctor. I does not bother me but I just wonder if it is related the unknown cause of my Tinnitus.

 

Candida infection in the middle ear will create a nagging itch. Just a thought. Nice, dark, moist place just ripe for fungal overgrowth. It gets mentioned here a lot. I guess though anything that could set off an inflammatory process will result in some irritation.

 

Ugh. I really doubt if doctors do know about candida and tinnitus connection. But I will tell about it to then anyway. So then do you think antifungals meds may help me if it is the cause? I mean about both tinnitus and itching.

 

Ears that itch inside can be a allergy side effect to tree and grass pollen etc and cause a reaction in your sinus and middle ears.
Allergy tablets can help.
It could also be your ears need a little moisture like olive oil in them if wax makes them itch also......lots of love glynis

 

itching ears, for me, is a sign of an allergic reaction -- and I remember having this happen for many years before I had any other problems with my ears, so I'm not convinced it's connected.

 

I have no other symptom of allergies but after reading all of those comments I will definitely check it out. Plus the very first ENT that I have seen said that my nose is very white-ish so I may be allergic. Thank you for the help.

 

Steroid nasal sprays can potentially cause a candida growth, as steroids interfere with natural immunity, and steroid sprays tend to be used a lot in allergy. I doubt anyone could easily prove a cause, and Docs are notorious for taking the low road diagnostically. The itch is most likely a red herring, as they say, that is, probably annoying but not very relevant. There again you state unknown cause, so you lose nothing by asking.

 

don't scratch it. my doctor told me to not dig, scratch, or pull my ears. i just bare all of it. it goes away, thank God.
