Why do my ears feel clogged?!


Question: Why do my ears feel clogged?
You know that feeling you get in your ears when changing altitudes, that is normally solved once they pop? Yeah, well, my ears have felt like that all day. I don't know if this is an infection of some sort, but it's driving me insane. I've also had a sore throat and terrible headache, if that helps. I know that's not much to go on, but if any of you know what it could be, please let me know.

Answers:

Sounds like an infection is causing swelling. Since you're having other symptoms it may not be an ear infection but some kind of ENT infection. Take anti-inflammatory OTC drugs like ibuprofen and rest and have plenty of fluids. If you spike a fever or the symptoms continue for more than 5 days then you should see a doctor. Otherwise, it's probably something minor that will resolve on its own.
