Suggest Treatment For Cold And Ear Blockage

Good evening doctor, I have cold for the last 15 days and since yesterday I feel like my ears are blocked but I don t have any ear pain. My cousin who is a doctor told me to take steroids for treating cold since it s there for so many days. Need your advice on steroids or do I take any other medication. Thank you.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query symptoms of cold and ear blockage is due to infection of sinuses leading to sinusitis. It could be due to eustachian tube dysfunctiong. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should take antibiotic Coamoxiclav for 3-5 days. Take decongestant nasal spray. Avoid cold drinks. Sip on warm water. You should have chicken soup and green tea for relieve of congestion and opening of sinuses. Avoid taking spicy and fried substances. Take one vitamin C pellet daily. Take food rich in soft and liquid diet.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
