What Causes Ear, Eye, or Nose Discomfort?
Understanding the source of your symptoms is key to getting you the right treatment as quickly as possible. Our healthcare providers are able to treat a variety of ear, nose, and eye conditions. The following are some of the more common causes of ear, nose, and eye discomfort that we encounter:
Common Causes of Ear Irritation
Ear Infections
Ear infections often develop from bacteria or viruses after a cold, allergies, or sinus congestion. This can result in pain, fluid buildup, and sometimes a fever. At Corewell Health, our providers can diagnose and treat ear infections quickly, offering fast relief through personalized care.
Ear Wax Buildup
Excessive earwax can lead to itchiness, earaches, and temporary hearing loss. Often, people will use cotton swabs to clean their ears, but this can wind up pushing the wax further in. Instead, our urgent care team can provide a safer, alternative method to remove built-up earwax.
Swimmer’s Ear
Sometimes water can become trapped in your ear after swimming or showering. This can lead to an infection known as swimmer’s ear, with symptoms like pain, redness, and discharge. In this case, we’ll provide prescription drops and expert care to help treat your infection and promote healing.
Allergies or Sinus Pressure
Allergies and sinus congestion can cause swelling and fluid buildup in the nasal passages, creating pressure that affects the ears. This often leads to general ear discomfort, muffled hearing, or pain. Our care team will deliver fast, effective treatment to restore clear breathing and ear comfort.

How We Diagnose Ear, Nose, & Eye Conditions
At Corewell Health Urgent Care, our providers begin by discussing your symptoms and medical history, followed by a physical exam of your ears, nose, and eyes. Depending on your condition, we may use tools like an otoscope or lighted scope to check for any infections, blockages, or general irritation. Additionally, we may use lab tests or cultures to help confirm the cause of your discomfort. This thorough approach ensures you receive the right diagnosis and the most effective treatment plan.
