Try getting these drops called "Swimmer's Ear." You just put them in and they dry up all the excess water in your ears.

Guaranteed cure:  Get an ear bulb at the drug store.Make a bowel of hot soapy water and use a bar of Ivory soap and make the water very soapy. Lie on you side and squeeze  the hot soapy water into your ear and let it set 10 minutes. Do the same with the other ear.\nRepeat this twice a day for 3 days. Then on the 4th day, use a shower hose and warm water to flush out your ears. I did this when I was young and never needed it done again!

Clean your ears with Q-Tips you can also pour a little bit of peroxide in your ear to help it.

Elevate your head on a couple of pillows at night.  Get a humidifier in your bedroom, and during the day, drink water.  No dairy products.  No milk, cheese, yogurt, or ice cream.  Your eustatian tube in your ear gets full of mucous when you lie down flat.  Call your doctor anyway, and tell him how long you have taken the medicine he prescribed,(doctor's have a lot of patients, and they can't remember all the details when you call them), and ask him for advice.  He may want to see you to check your ears, or prescribe a stronger medication.  Be sure you are taking all of your medicine exactly as the doctor prescribed it to be taken.

You probably have fluid behind your eardrum.  You may have just a cold or you may have an infection.  A doctor or ENT can look in your ears and tell you if you need to take a decongestant or not.  Try pinching your nose closed and blowing or swallowing, it can sometimes clear your ears.

Use afrin or some other kind of nosespray. It completely clears your nose for a while and it's basically the best thing ever for a cold. Nyquil works good during the night for me when I have a cold, too.

There is a product sold in most US pharmacies and supermarkets called Auro-dri which will remove any excess water which is still in the ear.  If you believe it is truly an infection there is nothing over the counter which will heal it (you will probably need antibiotic ear drops provided by a doctor).  However there is a product called Similasan earache relief which will help with the pain.  Similisan products are homeopathic (not the traditional medications you and I are used to) and therefore I cannot explain the actual mechanism of the active ingredients, but I have heard from many people that it has helped them with earache pain.

stop the medicans.  steam up your bath room ( u do this by turning on the hot water) and breath the steam in to clear your sinuses than turn on a air- purifier in your room and lay down. you should get to sleep in no time. good luck =)

You really need to visit your doctor.  Either you have a sinus or ear infection....possibly allergies.  Or, you have a substantial wax buildup, and they have instruments that can safely clean them out.  Including a special device that flushes them with warm water, til they are unclogged.\n\nSorry, there aren't any simpler solutions that I am aware of.  I've tried the over the counter kits....but, they ended up being a waste of money.\n\nHope ya get de-clogged soon!    lol

Just a capful of Hydrogen peroxide helps too, or the drops called Swimmer's Ear also helps. Or try ear plugs when you swim.

well u can probably go to the doctor and have them clean it out for you. my ears were terribly blocked once and the doctor used some thing with water to clear it out.

Start taking a zinc supplement as soon as you realize you are getting a cold.  Drink lots of water and juice with vitamin c.  If you are congested, you can take decongestants in the form of cold pills and drink warm liquids like chicken broth to help break up the mucus.  Make sure you are washing your hands often (20 seconds of lathering and rinse under warm water) and after you blow your nose or cough - if you are constantly blowing you can use some Purell to sanitize your hands, but you should still wash them with good old soap and warm water before you touch your face/eyes/mouth or eat.  Get plenty of rest.  Once you are better, continue to wash your hands often -as this is the best defense against getting sick.  I hope you feel better soon.
