What can I do about my ear that is stopped up?

Answer by  Hortense (206)

Lie on your side with the other ear on the pillow. The force of gravity will pull the fluid away from the ear opening and down into the nasal passages.

The quickest solution to ears that appear plugged is to rinse with water in the shower. Let as much water rinse in and out of the ear. Once out of the shower tilt head side to side to release water.

One option is Swimmer's Ear Drops, an OTC product that clears out ear wax, if that doesn't help, get seen by your doctor to rule out infection.

Try tilting your face so the stopped up ear is tilted toward the ceiling. Pour hydrogen peroxide in and let it run off until your ear unclogs.
