How Can I Unclog My Ear

How do I unclog my ear?!?!?!?

Yeah, sounds like my problem. No matter how clean I keep my ears, somehow, wax builds up real deep inside and causes small "plugs" or balls of wax that push up against the ear drum and distort hearing. Its annoying :( All you can do is go to the doc and get it flushed out with water and peroxide. Temporary relivers include: Tilting your head, Pouring a little Peroxide in your ear, putting Sweet Oil on a cottonball and placing it in the peroxide filled ear. You can find Sweet Oil at Walgreens. However, this works for a short ime only. Once you lay down it will likely come back. So i'd recommend seeing a doc..

How do i unclog my ears?

To unclog your ears, first try the Valsalva maneuver. Breathe in through your mouth and pinch your nose lightly such that you can barely breathe through it. Then, exhale gently and if they aren't too badly clogged your ears will pop. Another option is to fill your mouth with air and gently push it upwards towards your nose... you should feel a rising pressure and the sensation in your ears which should pop.

Other options include taking medicine. Something like Claritin D or Sudafed should, over the course of the day, loosen up the mucus or whatever is clogging your ears. It is also helpful to take long steamy showers where you breathe the steam in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Also, try drinking more water. The more you drink the more whatever is clogging your ears will become diluted - making it easier for it to drain.

Other than that, see a doctor or an ENT. They may prescribe something stronger like Nasonex. Never put anything into your ear, especially liquids and burning objects, without the advice of your doctor.

How to unclog my ears?

This might sound crazy but I read online that blowing cigarette smoke into the ear can help. I had fluid in my ear after coming down with bronchitis and so my boyfriend blew smoke into my ear and within an hour my ear had felt better, and the fluid slowly drained out. I'm not a doctor and wouldn't normally take advice from someone who wasn't but I was so desperate at the time I was willing to try just about anything. You could try this, I dont know what the risks are that are involved but I had no bad side effects and developed no infection, my ear was back to normal within 2 days

How do I unclog my ear?

This happens to me all the time, it feels like there's water in my ear even when I haven't showered beforehand. So I try cleaning out my ears with a Q-tip and it doesn't work one bit. If I pull on my earlobe, it sounds normal but then the feeling returns when I let go. I don't know what to do about it , I'm afraid it may be an ear infection or something.

How do I unclog my ears? I tried hydrogen peroxide, olive oil, and all those “pinch your nose and blow through it” techniques, etc.

You might try a little isopropanol after the rest of the treatments.The question is why are your ears clogged. If it is ear wax, the olive oil, etc., should work out if you are regular and persistent enough. If it is an infection (any pain?) you might achieve the desired result but, more than likely, you are going to need to pay a visit to your doctor.

On a z-pak, will my ear unclog?

I have been sick the last week with a virus that apparently is now a sinus infection because my doctor decided to provide me with a prescription for a zpak (azithromycin). My ear feels like it has been clogged for 2 days now (and I've been taking the medication for two days). Will the zpak clear this up or should I go into the doctor again because this is something that has to be cleared manually maybe?

How do I unclog my ears?

Both of my ears feel clogged. I have had this problem for a few months now. Went to the doc and got an antibiotic. It took the fluid out but didn't take away the pressure. Do I still have maybe ear wax in my ears. I tried a moist heating pad last night and some wax came out but they still feel clogged. Should I put the heating pad on again and again until my ears are no longer clogged? I am also having a lot of pressure in front of my ears around my jawline. Also, pressure in my nose. May or may not be related.

How can i unclog my ears?

If you are talking about the ears being clogged with wax - then there are products at your pharmacy/store that help. One is called "Ear-rigate" - that works very well. DO NOT put alcohol or peroxide in there!!! Those can seriously damage the inner workings of the ear & cause damage.
If you are talkig about the ear "feeling" clogged - usually with air/pressure (like you get from airplanes, swimming etc) - try swallowing very hard, chewing gum, holing your breath etc.
If it's painful - you need to see a doc as it may be infected.
Good luck!!!
