i just woke up in the middle of the night and my ear is really plugged. i have tried hydrogen peroxide and some other simple fixes, but nothing has worked. what do i do?
---**i would prefer no kids answering saying "go to the doctor" i need a similar experienced answer. i have had friends get plugged ears come and go, im just wondering if there's anything i'm missing here. thanks.

I have this same problem. Try the Peroxide for a couple days, and if this doesnt work, (I know you didnt want this, but...) go to the doctor, an ear specialist, and they have a special machine that shoots pressurized water into the ear and it works wonders. It did for me.

Were you swimming? If so you may have water in there, or you even may just have gotten water in there during a shower. I have alot and do mean alot of ear problems over the years many times mine feel blocked and I have trouble even when driving up a mountain it takes a long time for them to feel the popping sensation of opening up. I would give it a bit, but if it does not go away I would go see and Ear, Nose and Throat doctor.

I have bad ear problems like that. I usually use a warm washcloth and let it rest on my ear for a minute or so. I also have a baby nose cleaner thing...the ones they use on infants for suction...I got it at Wal-Mart. I use it to try to clean them out. Just don't put it in too far.

okay... this may sound silly but if it's water try hopping on the opposite foot of the ear while tilting your head to the side. it works for me when I go swimming and I get water in my ear.
good luck!
