As if things couldn't get worse, my right ear has been clogging up after a cold,
now it's gotten clogged and painful. I made an appointment with the doctor today
cause I couldn't sleep at all last night. Anyone else have similar experiences
and advice?
I now that problem. It's probably caused by a sinus infection (If I remember
correctly the sinus cavitys do have minor relation to the ear cavities.) so
perhaps that is the cause and in that case I have one remedy. Poor warm tea up
your nose and let it go down. So, if there is anything in your sinus cavities it
should be opened enough that you be able to get it out. Other, less likely to
work remedy is to devour some really really spicy food. (We're talking stuff
that is about 500,000 plus Scovial units. [unit of measure in spicy-ness.]) try
it, and if it doesn't work, there's always the doctor's antibiotics.

Thanx I got it flushed with a syringe of warm water flushed directly into the ear... it's weird at first, but then it feels good...
