A persistent left ear blockage with pressure extending toward the eye for 10 days suggests an underlying ear or sinus condition that warrants a fresh medical evaluation. Although Elriz D was prescribed earlier, repeating the same medicine without a current examination may delay proper diagnosis and treatment. Conditions such as Eustachian tube dysfunction, sinusitis, or middle ear infection require targeted therapy. Consulting an ENT specialist promptly is advised for proper examination and appropriate management to avoid complications and worsening symptoms.

You should be informed about the potential causes of your ear blockage and the sensation extending toward the eye, which might be related to sinus or Eustachian tube issues. Elriz D tablet, containing pseudoephedrine (a decongestant) and levocetirizine (an antihistamine), can help relieve nasal and sinus congestion that may contribute to these symptoms.

Since you have previously used Elriz D with benefit, it might provide some relief again. However, it is important to:

  • Use Elriz D only as prescribed by a doctor, especially because pseudoephedrine should not be used for prolonged periods due to possible side effects like increased blood pressure, headaches, or insomnia.
  • Avoid self-medicating if symptoms persist beyond a few days or worsen, as this could indicate an infection or other complications requiring further evaluation.
  • Inform your doctor if you have any underlying conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, thyroid problems, or kidney issues before restarting this medication.
  • Stay well hydrated to help loosen mucus and improve drainage.

Given your symptoms and history, I strongly recommend consulting an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist to assess your current condition and confirm the best treatment approach. If you experience severe pain, fever, or sudden worsening of symptoms, seek urgent medical care.
