Can the cold weather cause your ear to ache?
Yes, cold weather can cause earaches.
- Cold weather can cause the blood vessels in your ear to constrict, reducing blood flow and oxygen to the area. This can lead to inflammation, pain, and congestion in the ear.
- Cold air can also irritate the lining of the ear, causing swelling and pain.
- In addition, cold weather can make your sinuses more congested, which can put pressure on the ear and cause pain.
