Gently holding your nose closed with your fingers you blow
carefully, not hard,
and the air will back up thru the eustachian tubes and inflate them (they can collapse), and you hear a popping sound-boink.
They should pop. If not then the tube is inflamed and collapsed and indicates either the tonsils/adenoids are blocking it (this happened with my son) or
they are infected. Increased fluid build up in the ears leads to pain, infection and/or ruptured ear drums. Some people with chronic allergies get fluid build up in the ears behind the ear drum. Too much pressure and dizziness will occur.
