plugged ears?

Question

My ears have been plugged for a about a week now. I have been on antibotics for strep for about 6 days. There has been no change in the plugged ears and sometimes them still hurt. I also have a little bit of tinnitus. Whats going on?

I don't think i have allergies

I think have or had a ear infection though...

Answer 1

The ears get plugged by 2 methods. 1. ear wax of course
2.the eusatchian tube that drains the ears opens in the back of the nose. If you have some congestion, the ears can fill with fluid. Using a decongestant like sudafed and an expectorant like mucinex may help, but the plugged ears commonly will last 2-3 weeks.

Answer 2

This will sound a little crazy, but it works for me and my dad . . . maybe it will work for you too. I'll go through a few weeks of this problem every six months or so. I do think it relates to allergies, but all I really want is for it to go away. Here's the method my dad said he uses and, really, I just thought he was trying to make me do something silly. Bend over at the waist and turn your head quickly to the left, stand up. You can try turning your head right as well or right, left or any other combination -- left seems to work best for me. Sometimes it only last a little while so I have to do it again, but being able to hear is worth looking a little silly. Like I said, it sounds goofy but plugged ears drove me crazy enough to try a crazy solution.

Answer 3

Your ears are probably plugged with wax. There are three solutions that I use. One, there are ear drops from the store than can be put in the ear and the wax washed out with a syringe that is provided. Two, there are ear candles that can be purchased on the internet or from a health food store. This is my tried and true method. However, you have to be careful and need assistance with this one. You are using heat to draw the wax out of the ear. Third, your doctor can clean your ears but this is often a painful procedure.

8mm,or 0g incredibly isn't that super.it could look enormous once you're first beginning out,yet as you get used to donning plugs,you notice that that's not all that super.I advise,i assume distinctive people have a distinctive opinion of what super is,& i don't comprehend what length you're actually-while you're actually not yet at a 0g & don't have something already in that length,you will likely ought to reserve them in some unspecified time sooner or later besides,when you consider which you do not decide to pass sizes,yet whilst this is for once you attain your purpose length,that's recommended to verify a length chart to get an concept of what length could be greater what you like.The do have ones that coach you w/circles somewhat of only numbers so which you will get a greater concept.

Answer 5

I have this same problem! When I talked to my doctor, he said it was allergies. If you have allergies (or a cold) that affects your nasal passages, the mucus can clog your ears as well.

Answer 6

ear wax buildup..........go to your family doctor to have them cleaned out.........its a simple process of water being pushed up against your eardrum.........while they catch any debris with a pan under your ear.........actually very relaxing...........have had it done myself several times. Tinnitus.......may also be a part of the blockage........if it persists........talk to that doctor as well of it.
