Clogged Ear

[ruby412]

My right ear has been clogged for 4 days now. It feels full like what happens on an airplane. I'm guessing it's seasonal allergy related but it's driving me insane!! Any ideas, anyone?

Oh man I bet it's definitely allergies. That would drive me crazy! Allergy meds aren't helping drain it?

I'm taking Zyrtec and Flonase now. I just picked up some sudafed to try on top of it too. Which did you know you have to get at the pharmacy and they swipe your license for?? Hardcore much?!

Took sudafed at 8:15 and still clogged.

Has anyone else experienced this??

yes!! People are using it for drugs and they seriously keep track of how often you buy it too!

In addition to the ringing that dixee is experiencing, I had this. I ended up with a pretty bad middle ear infection. You should try putting drops I your ears to clear it out but if its clogged from sinuses, that may not help.

Thanks, T. I did try drops this morning around 9:30 and still no change. I made a dr's appointment for tomorrow. They couldn't get me in today. I'm hoping it's something than can be cleared up with antibiotics. This really sucks!

I'll be one day ahead of you with antibiotics so i'll keep ya posted!

Have you lived under a rock? Sudafed has been locked up for quite some time. If I have any more children, I believe one is going to Walmart, 2 are going to Rite Aid and at least 5 are going to CVS. I always take 2 Sudafed, because one doesn't do crap for me, but 3 gives me heart palpitations. I hope you feel better soon!

Yes, I guess I have been living under a rock! lol

I just haven't taken any meds in so long between nursing and pregnancy and didn't really take much before that either. Meanwhile, Sudafed didn't work anyway, so it was a whole lot of standing around at the pharmacy counter for nothing!

Sorry to hear that. I've suffered from chronic sinusitis for several years, so I know exactly when I'm allowed to get more of the good stuff. It was rough going through my pregnancy without it (for most of the time). I do hope your doctor can find you a solution though!

[kdrake8]

LOL ruby! You don't live under a rock lady! No shame in not being up to date on the latest pharmaceutical laws we've been all KU and nursing!

I can't even remember what Excedrin tablets look like anymore. Glorious tablets of the gods.

Ugh hope it gets better. I've only had 3 ear infections in my life and every time the only symptoms were being clogged and feeling kind of full. I apparently don't get pain with them.
