I have a sinus problem. I'm not really sick just alittle stuffed up but, my ear has been closed all day. I keep pulling on it but it won't open up and stay that way. What can be done. Do I need to go to the doctor.

Take a decongestant/antihistamine. Is the ear painful? If not, every few hours, gently blow your nose, one side at a time
[ close other nostril from outside with your finger ].
If you don't have : pain [ear infection or ruptured ear drum ], discharge [ broken ear drum ], dizziness [ ear inf, rupt ear drum ] or sudden severe hearing loss [ infection/ impacted cecum - wax ], you can wait a day or so. If it doesn't clear up in 24-48 hours, call the doc.

thats just because you are congested. Make sure you are taking something like Tylenol Cold for Congestion. thats what i use. pulling on your ear will not help.
