Question:

What are good natural remedies if you have a plugged up ear?

i know most poeple say go see a doctor but i don't have health insurance right now so that's out of the question, I have allergies and sinus problems but those are under control but my right ear has been plugged up for a week and its really annoying.


Answers:

If you mean that you have a wax plug in your ear, then there's an over-the-counter kit that you can buy to flush it out.

If you mean that your ear feels stopped up on the inside (like with fluid), then you can try taking decongestants to open up the inner ear canal to allow it to drain. Sudafed 12 hour is the best thing for that, but you'll need to specifically request the formulation that contains pseudoephedrine. Most decongestants have been recently reformulated because folks are using the pseudoephedrine to make crystal meth. You can still buy it, though. It's just more of a hassle. The reformulated stuff doesn't work as well.
