Sounds like you have seasonal allergies!. An antihistamine with a decongestant should help clear it up!. You can get most of them over-the-counter (or behind the counter if they have a D after them)!. There are many good allergy & sinus medications you can buy at chain pharmacies, grocery stores, Walmart, Kmart, Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc!. You can always ask a pharmacist for advice, especially if you take any other medications, have high blood pressure, heart problems, etc!. Even if you have a sinus infection, doctors are not prescribing antibiotics like they used to!. For your blocked ears, hold your nose and blow air into your ears (actually your Eustachian tubes) and see if that won't help them drain and open up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
