Now my right ear very blocked!?

Question

It's been like this for three days now and i just can't take it anymore.It interferes with me when i'm eating for example yes i was eating salad,chicken and bread along with OJ.I was hoping swallowing would work but it never does.Then i tried to keep forcing myself to yawn but everytime i did that it didn't work so now i'm fed up.It's irritating and highly uncomfortable.At this rate i wouldn't be able to hear a thing ever. Well except my hearing would only work at half capacity, and one more thing everytime i tried to unblock it i hear this buzzing sound and liquid shaking about in it.Any idea what that could mean.It's either time for the doctors or get some Sudafed from the chemist.Sounds are so muffled that i could no longer hear the tv properly and hammer noises which are meant to be loud.i also have pains by the ear.

Answer 1

Sounds like you may have wax in your ears...go to your doctor and he'll give you some drops to put which would soften the wax...and most of the time, it will come out on its own. If not, the doctor can syringe it out for you

Answer 2

Definitely take Sudafed. I had that issue for over a week before I finally tried Sudafed, and it went away after about half an hour.

Answer 3

Turn your head to the side and pour water with a pinch of salt into it. Should clear it right up. Happy hearing :)

Answer 4

1st of all goto the doctor and ask him if this is ok....

Go to the shop or chemist, pick up almond oil

pour some into your ear hole and massage a little into there.

please goto the doctor first and ask him if you can do this, best visiting the doctor 1st incase its something more serious like an infection.

don`t follow any advice on here until you have cleared with mr doc :)

Answer 5

I had a blocked ear for 2 weeks

I went to the doctor and he said it's nothing to worry about, it will eventually go. It did eventually go, so yer maybe u just have 2 be patient and it will go.

Or you might have some water in your ear. So if i were u go to the doctors and see what they say. My dad got an ear infection due to water blocking it.

Answer 6

try getting some olive oil and heating it up and then get a dropper (available from boots, or from an old medicine bottle - wash it out first) and drop a few drops of the warmed up olive oil in your ear.

lie down with whichever side doesn't have the olive oil in it, for at least 20 minutes, keep a kitchen towel by your head incase of any spillage.

then do the same with the other ear.

keep doing this as the olive oil will break up the wax blocking your ear. do this for a few nights.

iv been told not to stick stuff down my ear as our ears clean themselves naturally.

Answer 7

If there happens to be water in your ear

use a dab of peroxide or alcohol. Warm it

up a tad first or it will cause a lot of pain.

If you use any ear drops always warm them up

because the cold can cause severe pain.

But just because someone had a "similar"

issue it doesn't mean it is the same thing

as you. I would see a doctor and then take

it from there.

Oh, and just because you have severe pain in your

ear doesn't mean it's an infection either. It could

be a number of things one of them being stress by

clenching your jaw or teeth. It effects inside the ear

by swelling of the jaw where it is close to the ear. It's

horrificly painful!! Then you need a doctor to confirm

that issue and an anti-immflamatory would be necessary.

So you see, it could be a number of things.

good luck and I hope you feel better.

Answer 8

If you have pains in the ear its an infection. Get straight to the doctors. You can try sudafed but doubt it will help now.
