How do I unplugged my clogged ear (residual from cold)?!
Question: How do I unplugged my clogged ear (residual from cold)!?
I had a cold all of last week (treated only with sleep and relaxation), and it's been very slowly dying down this week (lingering sniffles, cough, etc!.)!. My right ear was clogged off and on (originally, I would just swallow or yawn and it would pop), but as of two days ago, it hasn't let up!. I took 1 Motrin and 1 Sudafed last night before I went to bed, but nothing happened!. I have been drinking water and blowing my nose as much as necessary!.

otc ear drops have a mild antibiotic and will soften wax and clogs!. get them at any drug store!. hydrogen peroxide and mineral oil can also be dropped into the ear to loosen buildup but the ear drops are most effective!. make sure to warm up to body temp!. any liquid you decide to drop in there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have problems with ear infections to the point that I need antibiotics 4 times a year (once a season) to clear the infection!.
What my doctors told me was to try a couple of different things:
1) Hold your nose with two fingers and blow out!. Most times that will clear your ears!.
2) Try cleaning out your ears!. There are ear drops that are available at the grocery or pharmacy!. Check with the pharmacist!.
If those 2 options don't help, see your family physician!. You may have an ear infection that needs antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
