Question: How can I get rid of a plugged up ear!?
Hi everyone - my left ear has been plugged up for almost two weeks - my hearing is getting worse every day - headaches - I just finished a round of anti-biotics for the ear infection, but it just won't clear up! I've tried hot washcloths, steaming, ear drops, etc!. Should I go back to the doctor!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes!. My grandmother has been dealing with this problem for 6 weeks! They tried antibiotics, didn't work, then they tried steroids (anti-inflammatory), didn't work, and now they're finally sending her to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor)!. I would just ask your family physician if you could be referred to an ENT!. They would be more qualified to deal with your ear problems if antibiotics don't help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Try a hot bolw of water and a towle on ya head and the steam will soften up ur ear wax and use ear buds or that long little spoon thing u can get for ears, but be carefull u dont stick it in to far, if its not down to wax then go see your Ear doc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Definitely and ASAP going to an Ear nose and throat specialist should be your top priority!. Do not delay, have it taken care of before it does any permanent damage to your hearing!. Best wishes and get well soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
