Any Suggestion To Clear Inner Ear Fluid?
Inner ear fluid, past three weeks. Result of head cold while traveling by air. Upon descent of airplane, ears filled with fluid and would not clear. Right side ear has since cleared and is normal. Left side is still a problem - irritating and poor hearing.

Hi. Read and understood your query and history.
Inner ear fluid is basically collection of fluid in the middle ear cavilty.
The primary reason is usually in the upper respiratory passages.
Hence the basic treatment of the cause is also equally important.
I would advise the following:
First of get the proper ENT examination
Get ct scan of paranasal sinuses
Get proper treatment of the cause and this will automatically treat the ear infection.
Tympanotomy to suck the ear fluid give faster results.
Precautions:
Do not blow nose.
Do no self treatment.
