What Does Muffled Hearing And Drainage From Ear Indicate?
I ve had muffled hearing for months now...like having cotton in my ears. I do use Q-tips, which I know I shouldn t, so I m wondering if my ear is impacted or if this is allergy related? I have some congestion & drainage in my throat. I take Zyrtec & Flonase. There s no pain in my ears. There is some clear drainage at times if I lay a certain way. Is there anything I can do at home to clear my ears without a doctor? I had the same thing last year & it cleared up on its own...I ve just had it so much longer this time.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, first it need to be ruled out for the impaction of ear wax if it is there then you can use the ear drops which dissolve the wax may contain the turpentine if it did not dissolve then it is better to see the doctor hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
