What can I do to unclog an ear that's been clogged for 3 weeks?

Answer 1

The Eustachian tubes are the tubes that join the pharynx to the middle ear. If a person is sick, these tubes can become clogged. The best way to unclog the Eustachian tubes is to chew gum to see if the tubes open. If not, try a heating pad or over the counter decongestant.

One way is to use sterile olive oil in an eardroper to loosen it of then in time it will clear. another way is to gently rinse the wax out of the ear with a jet of warm water. there are devises available to aid you in doing this if you enquire with your pharmacist.

Answer 3

After checking with your primary care physician, you might try any of the sinus cleansing systems available in pharmacies. Try one that involves actually pouring cleansing water through the sinus cavities and not just spraying water in. I had forgotten what it was like to hear small amounts of air flow through. After using my system a few times, everything cleared up. This just involved reducing the pressure in the sinuses a little.
