Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had an ear infection in my left ear. I finished my antibiotic treatment for 10 days , however my ear is still clogged up its been 3 weeks, and its not getting better. Ive tried everything, taking a saline spray, loratidine..etc. nothing seems to work.
I can certainly understand your concern towards your clogged ears, it could be due to wax, cold or sinus problem. You can remove by by lukewarm olive oil, or warm compression if it is wax, if it is due to sinus, it would have been as you already taken antibiotics.
I think you can try valsalva maneuer, in this way 1.Close your mouth and pinch your nostrils closed with your fingers and then take deep breath 2.Blow air out of your nose to regulate the air pressure. If done correctly, you will hear a slight popping sound which means the Eustachian tubes are open again. This procedure would definitely help you
consult your doctor for further help Post your further questions if any, I will available to take up your follow up questions
Thank you
