I had A horrible cold and now my ear is stopped up how can I make it pop? Help!!!
Question: Pinch your nose with your fingers and keeping your mouth closed also exhale slowly until you feel them clear. This is what scuba divers do.
Oh, when I was a kid my mom would take paper towels soak in really hot water then put in a cup, with the cup steaming hold your ear over the steam and it will open them up. Be careful not to burn yourself.

YAWN
yawn
Swallow a couple of times
Use a ear-swab and clean out your ears
Yawn a couple times
hold your nose and blow. You'll feel one side then the other. When you have a cold you may not feel the pressure right away but do it every once in awhile and it'll help keep fluid building up.
Don't do this with anymore pressure than what is needed to clear the blockage. I had a cold that moved to the ears once and the ear specialist had me do that. And believe it or not, using eye drop solution, a drop or two on each side.
swallow, chew gum and yawn ! :)
Take anti-botics and that will go away.
gulp, or plug your nose and mouth and blow really hard, (weird but they both help)
chew gum
eat something very spicy (ie jalapeno)
chew some gum
CHEW GUM!
you need something to take for your sinuses
also holding your breath and nose and try to blow out with your mouth closed sometimes helps
DO NOT TRY TO POP YOUR EAR!
You need an antihistamine to alleviate the pressure. You can get something over the counter at the drugstore, but once your there, ask the pharmacist for some advice.
Actually, this happens to me all of the time. The only thing that helps me is to use TavistD, which is a drying sinus pill. My ear pops open by the next morning. You could also stand in a steam shower to start breaking down the mucus.
You need to put ice on the ear and then dip your head in a hot bath. The change in temperatures will cause the bubble to pop. Then DO NOT suck the mucus in your nose out. It will go to your ear and you will get a clogged ear again!
Go to the health food store. Ask for a set of ear candles & instructions for use. Read instructions & find a friend to ear candle you. PAY ATTENTION to instructions. It takes 15 min. per ear & you should do both ears. Take a shower or bath 1st. Then keep water & cold air out for 24 hrs.
i know this is a little wierd but plug your nose and blow hard...your ears should pop. it always works for me. if that doesnt help try cleaning them out with qtips or swallowing a lot.
think about what you generally do to prevent clogged ears when on an airplane.
