There are a number of reasons that might account for chronic ear drainage. While allergy may be one of them, in the absence of other allergy symptoms, it is not very likely. The most common reason for the ears to itch is that the skin lining the ear canal gets a little too dry.
Ear congestion typically occurs when the Eustachian tube, located between the ear and throat, becomes blocked. A variety of medical conditions (allergies, viruses, colds and upper respiratory infections) can cause fluid to collect in the Eustachian tube and/or middle ear, leading to congested ears. Ear congestion symptoms may include: muffled hearing, pain, inflammation, discharge, swelling and/or itching.
