Taken Antibiotics For Cold. Clogged Ears. How To Get Rid Of It?
I have been on antibiotics , Flonase , and Claritin for about two weeks after very bad cold . My ear completely clogged. I think i had a clogged tube. It is still not clear it changes from ear to the other. What else can I do to get rid of the feeling of clogged in my ear. I feel anxiety at night and it really effects my sleep. Should I try a steroid? or something natural like Tumeric?

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Better to try the steroid systemic as well as nasal.
With this you also add in your treatment-
1. Steam Inhalation about 5 times a day
2. Nasal decongestant
3. Systemic decongestant
4. Chew gum contain xylitol
5. Proper antibiotic
For better diagnosis and management consult your ENT specialist.
Wish you good health
