I have been to the doctor, on a Z pac I. Had congestion , a lot of mucus which has subsided. I do not have a fever, however my ears are very compromised. I feel as if I am talking in a tunnel. My hearing is about 50%.
I am also taking Advil sinus and congestion pill. Is there something I can do without meds?

Hi
In case of upper respiratory tract congestion, the nasal congestion leads to blockage of a tube connecting nose and middle part of ear. This leads to heaviness and blockage feeling. You can use some non medicinal ways to relieve this condition.
1. Steam inhalation is a good method.
2. Blowing of air while keeping the nose closed by finger allows opening of eustachian tube.
Nasal instillation may be helpful.
