Ear Clogged - Almost 3 Months - Nothing is Helping
Posted , 4 users are following.
My issue is with my ear. it’s clogged – and feels like it has cotton in it and then sometimes it has a tingling or draining feeling. It doesn’t hurt but it’s a very annoying feeling. This has been going on for almost three months. Below is the list of items I tried for a month before going to the Urgent Care:
1) Over-the-counter sinus medicine
2) Zyrtec for allergies
3) Nasal rinse
When I went to the Urgent Care they gave me antibiotics and a prescription for inflammation. Nothing improved or changed. Several weeks later still with no improvement I went to an Ear Nose Throat (ENT) doctor. His staff took lots of tests to see if I had hearing issues, wax buildup, etc. They said my hearing was great and told me to take allegra over-the-counter sinus/allergy medicine and a nasal spray. Since then, I also tired the following:
1) Nasal rinse (a couple times per day)
2) Hydrogen peroxide drops for 10 minutes then ear wash
3) 3-4 Auricular therapy treatments (needleless acupuncture)
4) Wearing night guard for teeth grinding at night
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or solutions so I can get rid of this ear issue. It’s driving me nuts! Thanks so much.
