Sore throat and blocked ears !!??!


Question: soo for about 3 days now, iv'e had a cold....like headaches blocked nose...etc

but the symptoms which are causing most pain and discomfort are the sore throat, and my left ear is blocked .....like i can't hear people as clearly as i did a few days ago.

anyone know of a remedy for a sore throat?
or...
does anyone know how i can TRY and unblock my ear MYSELF, without going to the doctors.

(by the way..please don't suggest any "fancy" oils and herbs...because i don't have any of that, and don't have the money to go and buy it)

thanks for all answers :)

Drink plenty of fluids; tea with honey & lemon. Gargle with very warm salt water 3-4X/day; gargle with Hydrogen peroxide (it will feel weird because it bubbles up a lot).

Suck on Zinc lozenges(can even heal bronchitis); suck on Halls or Vicks cough drops with eucalyptus; take Vit C 2000mg every 2 hours.

Re: Your ear, you can also try putting a bit of Hydrogen peroxide in your ear (you'll hear bubbling) keep head tilted till bubbling subsides.

Hope you feel better soon.

headcold...take hot shower

Hey, i`ve been sick for about 2 days now with the same symptoms as you do. i think its a cold, but anyways...i just took a warm shower and i drank a warm cut of green tea. its not that expensive..about $2 - $3 for a pack of about 50 tea`s....i am still congested but its starting to go away a bit. you should try it. it helps!

Sounds like sinus problems. Take a decongestant. Sinus blockage can stop up your ears, and the drainage can make your throat sore.

If the decongestant doesn't work for your ear, try some earwax removal drops. Seriously. They're cheap and don't hurt. Sometimes your ear can be blocked even though they look clean on the outside.
