ears clogged?

Question

My left ear suddenly got clogged when i got sick and im still a little sick and i try to blow air into my ear and pop it but it doesnt help makes it worse ive tried ear wax remover with the thing that u use to clean your ears but its not working how long are my ears going to be clogged like this"?

Answer 1

Don't put anything else in your ear. If you already tried ear wax remover then the problem is NOT inside your ear, but in your throat and your eustation tube.
Do NOT blow any more pressure into it, you are forcing stuff up in there and making the problem worse.
Try Afrin nasal spray, but DO NOT use it more than the directions tell you. Your nose will become addicted to it, and your head will stop up for no reason other than you stopped taking it. Use it once and if it doesn't open up, then you will just have to wait a couple weeks.
I had a REALLY bad infection a couple years ago and both ears clogged up. One of my eardrums burst and I was 6 weeks before my ears cleared up. The good news is that I did not suffer any hearing loss as a result of the ruptured eardrum and it healed back nicely.

Answer 2

Drop a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide into your ear. It will be cold and you will it hear it sizzle a bit, but this should clear your clog. If it doesn't work the first time it is safe to repeat.

Answer 3

anti biotics I'm afraid. trying to pop your ears can cause damages so stop.

I've dealt with this all my life everytime I get a cold. Use decongestants as well.

it really sucks doesn't it

don't go on any airplanes or underwater until it's healed

good luck

Answer 4

You may have an ear infection, if it doesn't get better in a few days I would see your doctor to see what is going on you may need antibiotics.

Answer 5

put a drop of olive oil in ear and place a hot water bottle on ear
camphor chapstick-rub behind ear
