I have been sniffly for a week now.  Turns out I have a sinus infection.  I got antibiotics yesterday but my left ear is so clogged and hurts.  Even when it pops my hearing is muffled from the minor damage from all this.  Ugh.

Have you tried putting warm olive oil in your ear?

OMG no!  I'm scared.  Will it really help?  I cannot pop it for the life of me.

It may help soothe it. Don't be scared. Just a few drops, and then put a cotton ball in your ear to keep it from dripping out.

I also use some ear drops by similisan that feel pretty good. And by that, I mean it hurts a little bit in a good way.

Thanks AJ.  I may have DH put some olive oil in my ear.  I hope this goes away soon.  I cannot stand this!

I hope it goes away Try asking the EFF board for ideas, too. They're full of homeopathic remedies.

My ears got really clogged this winter when I had an earache and was using drops for pain relief.  It was miserable.  I used some ear cleaning foam that worked wonderfully.
