Question:
Help! I have had a blocked ear for about 2 weeks now. Does anyone know of a home remedy?
I am not in pain, so it is not an infection. I do not have insurance, and so cannot see a doctor. I have tried steam, peroxide, and sudafed, none of which have worked. Someone suggested Mucinex, but i'd rather not take anymore meds. Please help! Although I am not in pain, I have never been more annoyed!!

Well, I don't know where you live but if at all possible I would contact someone who is an alternative health medicine person. (Sometimes you find people like this practicing alongside massage therapists). There is a procedure called ear candling.
It is exactly what it sounds like. They place a hollow candle in your ear and light it. It creates a vaccuum and draws whatever is blocking the ear and/or sinus cavity out.
I have seen this done before on a guy whose ears were so blocked that he couldn't hear. He was about to be fitted for hearing aids and decided to do this as a last ditch effort. 9 candles later, he could hear better than ever.
Also, keep up on your water consumption. Decrease caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. Water is very vital to fixing problems like this.
Hope this helps!
