Why are my ears so blocked ??


Question:
Recently i posted a message on here saying that my ears had been ringing due to a cold that has lasted three weeks. Now i am 4 weeks into that same cold and the ringing has sort of stopped only now if i blow my nose my ears pop and all of a sudden i can hear EVERYTHING. It is sort of painful but more just annoying. Any ideas how to fix this ??

Answers:
You may have a low-grade inner ear infection. If you aren't taking decongestants, try doing so for a few days. It can help drain the ears. In addition, significantly increase your intake of Vitamin C throughout the day (back off when you reach diarrhea...sounds weird but that's the way you do it). Zinc and echinacea are also helpful. They will help with the healing process.

It might also be a good idea to buy a wax removal kit and flush your ears, just to make sure wax build-up isn't part of the problem.
Get some decongestant tablets from the chemist like Sudafed.
