Suggest Remedy For Clogged Nose, Sore Throat And Painful Ear

I have had a nasal problem, 22 days ago. I used to smell this sweet fragrance which gave me difficulty in breathing through my nose. I had it checked and my doctor gave me a nasal spray. After using it for 10 days, the sweet fragrance was gone however it still feels clogged. 2 days ago, I had this sore throat and it s mostly on the left side and now my left ear feels weird and sometimes there are pains. What should I do? Do I need to check on my doctor again? What is this?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Following remedies can be tried in clogged nose, sore throat and painful ear :-
1. Steam inhalation- steam inhalation should be done. steam inhalation cause thinning of nasal secretions and thereby unblocking nose.
2. Salt Water Gargle-Mix 1 tsp of salt with warm water in a glass. Gargle for roughly 15-20 seconds and spit out. You can repeat this as needed for 2-3 days. Remember to spit the water rather swallowing it.
3. Valsalva Maneuver:-Take a deep breath and pinch your nose. Now, try to exhale like you are trying to breathe out. This will unclog your ears. This is the easiest and a good ear treatment, Don’t blow too hard; otherwise, it may cause damage to the ear drum.

Visit a ENT specialist, if problem persist
