My ears are blocked!!!!

I had a cold and sinus infection, flew out of town on the weekend, air pressure made things worst and since Friday night my ears, especially the left one is blocked. I feel like there’s a party going on in my ear. And it hurts!

There’s pressure, tingling, resounding when I talk, can’t hear properly…I’m on hold to make an appointment with my doc…meanwhile I thought I’d start this thread.

I’ve tried everything from antihistamines to ear drops, from blowing air out of my mouth with my nose closed to warming th ear with a compress…

Helpppppppppppppppppppppp me!

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO AND SEE THE DOCTOR. :o

YOU WANT ME TO REPEAT IT?

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

Did you try Drain opener :p?

Seeing a doctor is not an option.

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

A drain opener...we do have Liquid Plumber at home...try karooN?

Re: My ears are blocked!!!

While you are waiting fro going to doctor , drink something hot again like green tea soup etc , it helps. Going to doctor is your best bet though

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

Oh i had a similar occassion last year and it was so hard and annoying to tolerate it for two weeks. I was so scared cuz i had to go through the whole scary test about checking my ear drums and if something has been damaged...:( and since i am claustophobic this condition somehow linked with it and i was so scared that when the doc told me that it will get better in a week or can take more than up till 3 weeks that i told him that if it takes more than a week i will get it operated and sort it out. BUt i think it got fine after lil above a week.

It was a terrible experience. So i can feel your pain but just try to remain calm and go to the doc at the earliest. Good luck.

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

Thanks. 3 more hours to my appointment.

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

take sasame oil and adrak ko oil may fry ker kay then take adarak out then put that oil in the ear, ive seen many plp doin this cure any ear problems.

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

Yes and this is very effective. I had it done when I was a kid. But you need to lye down for that and someone has to pour the liquid in your ear and stir it slowly. Try it Nikki it should work!

Re: My ears are blocked!!!

Definitely go to a doc. My eardrum burst when I was 14. It hurt. :bummer:

Re: My ears are blocked!!!!

remedies, lots of honey and tea, vitamin C tablets and fluid like plain hot water or luke warm water.
