However, sometimes fluid or negative pressure gets stuck in the middle ear, causing discomfort and trouble hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is likely to happen when you have a cold, sinusitis, an infection or allergies as they can cause swelling which makes it harder for the tubes to open. This results in pressure changes or even fluid collecting in the middle ear which can cause pain or lead to an infection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blocked Eustachian tubes will often get better on their own or after trying to yawn or \u2018popping your ears,\u2019 as the tubes open briefly to let air in to make the pressure in the middle ears equal to the pressure outside of the ears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this doesn\u2019t solve your problems, however, you should make an appointment with your doctor. They\u2019ll be able to recommend an OTC pain medication to relieve your symptoms, but sometimes you might just have to wait for the ears to pop on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your congestion is caused by allergies, a steroid medicine that you can spray into your nose might help, or alternatively, decongestants that you take by mouth or spray into your nose will help ease congestion and unclog your ears.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Medicine_for_Clogged_Ears_Caused_by_an_Infection\"><b>Medicine for Clogged Ears Caused by an Infection\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your clogged ears are caused by an outer ear infection your doctor might recommend acidic ear drops to prevent bacteria or fungus from spreading. They might also suggest antibiotic ear drops for bacterial infections, steroid ear drops to reduce swelling, antifungal ear drops for fungal infection, and antibiotic tablets if the bacterial infection is severe or ongoing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For infections inside the ear, antibiotics are not generally offered, as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/antibiotic-use\/community\/downloads\/Preventing-and-Treating-Ear-Infections-H.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">these infections usually go on their own<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (as stated by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). A painkiller such as paracetamol might be recommended for the pain (which antibiotics can\u2019t treat).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This being said, you might be prescribed antibiotics in some instances, such as if your infection does not start to get better after three days, you have any fluid coming out of your ear, or you have an illness that means there&#8217;s a risk of complications (such as cystic fibrosis).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"OTC_Medicine_for_Clogged_Ears\"><b>OTC Medicine for Clogged Ears\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re experiencing general stuffiness, ear discomfort, and sinus pain, an OTC pain reliever, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen, can help ease your earache or pain from sinus pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OTC decongestant tablets or nasal sprays can ease sinus blockage and clogged ears, just be sure you don\u2019t use them for more than three days as your body can get overly habituated to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although ear infections can often resolve without treatment, OTC ear drops and pain medication can help you with your symptoms. You might need to take antibiotics if your symptoms are severe or last more than two or three days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also be sure to avoid extreme temperatures, keep your head up, blow your nose gently (blocking one nostril), and drink plenty of fluids to help nasal mucus thin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_Medicine_to_Avoid_When_You_Have_Clogged_Ears\"><b>What Medicine to Avoid When You Have Clogged Ears\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an ear infection it is not recommended that you try either decongestants or antihistamines as they will not make a difference to your symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, if this is not the cause of your problems they may help. It\u2019s useful to keep track of your symptoms to try to work out what\u2019s going on or visit a doctor for a diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"When_to_See_a_Doctor\"><b>When to See a Doctor<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your symptoms are getting worse or aren\u2019t going away at home, or you are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/ear-congestion#7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also experiencing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> severe pain, a fever, dizziness, fluid drainage, bleeding from your ear, hearing loss, or balance problems you should make an appointment with your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They will have the right tools to safely remove wax if this is the issue, or can prescribe you medications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never attempt to remove ear wax on your own, as you could damage your ear.
