Try ear, nose, and throat probiotics for about 90 days or as long as you need them. Take up to 5 a day (they're also called oral probiotics) to stop the infection and take curcumin to stop the inflammation. You can also buy pure guaifenesin online for any mucus. This should help tremendously.

I have had various operations to cure congestion, swellings and headaches years ago and whilst the last two were fixed up pretty well, I have had debilitating congestion for many years, especially with the change in seasons or during DAMP weather. I have been an avid Apple Cider Vinegar and honey imbiber for years but I recently upped my dosage to twice a day.
I started "pulling" with Coconut oil and then started actually eating the stuff too. I finally gave up DAIRY completely a few months ago and boy what a difference to my congestion all these actions have provoked!
To anybody being driven crazy with blocked ears especially (mine felt as if they were filled with concrete but there was seldom (but occasionally) an excess of wax in them strangely enough), give some, or preferably all, of the above a trial and monitor your reaction.
ALSO, I have not seen on this excellent site any reference to an Ayurvedic trick, whereby you alternate the closing of the nostrils and do the various breathing exercises they recommend. Takes about a week to gain relief but worked a treat for me even before I embarked on my "Earth Care Journey".
I occasionally use the Neti Pot Remedy too. Go well!

Nine years ago, I started having severe pain in both ears. They were also clogged and ringing. Whenever I lay down, I would get vertigo.
I was unable to sleep in a bed, and could manage a few hours of sleep only by propping myself up on a couch. I was unable to work, and took one sick day after another (hoping that I wouldn't be fired). After seeing a number of doctors, each of whom looked into my ears and found nothing, I took a friend's advice and went to the Mayo Clinic.
After two days of testing, the ENT doctor walked into the room, looked at my chart results on the computer, and said, "All I can think is that it's a food allergy".
What?? No other doctor had ever suggested that. Anyway, that's how I discovered that I'm allergic to legumes, which I had been eating in earnest as a protein replacement for meat (no good deed goes unpunished).
All by way of saying that what we eat can have a devastating effect on our health in ways that are virtually unimaginable.
Even healthy food.

I just read on this site, mix equal parts Apple Cider Vinegar with alcohol. Drip a few drops into clogged ear, while laying on opposite ear. Allow to remain a few seconds then turn over to drain a little then lay back on unaffected ear so the liquid can keep working. My ear had been clogged from traveling on plane 24 hours prior! It was so frustrating! This totally cleared it-finally after taking a decongestant with no results, per the pharmacist!

They also help with sinus inflammation!
PS Fish oil should also work, but I took flax oil, and ACV.
I CAN HEAR! YEIIIII, TAKE THAT DR!
Try it!, it won't hurt
Love and light, Sunny

Self administered/ you can do it by yourself/ no help needed. :)
What you need: ( you can improvise).
Hydrogen Peroxide low percent, the one you see in all stores, clean drinking warmed water, 3 containers, 1 syringe, 1 cotton, 1 towel
ERE IS WHAT I DID: I warmed up a bit of filtered drinking water, placed it in a mug, placed some hydrogen in another mug.
Got syringe and sucked some warm water with it, then put it in the empty mug, then sucked some hydrogen Peroxide with syringe, ( sucked all syringe space for both), then I added that to the mug w the warm water, then mixed it w the syringe itself, then I got my towel and put in around my ear for the spillage, then I syringed the whole syringe mixture into my right ear laying on that side, I layed there as I heard it bubble for 1 min, then I emptied my ear, I repeated with my other side ear, Then when finished I put a little piece of cotton on both ears, to dry them and to protect them for air. And I can hear clear! Yeiiiiiii!
PS make sure it's warm enough but not hot! Because your ears will hurt if it's cold! . Also do not over do it, just 1s Per day, also make sure you do not have a ruptured ear drum! /aka whole in ear!! You are responsible for your decision. This is just for clogged ear, not ear pain!
Because the hydrogen Peroxide can make the pain worse! Trust me. For pain go w onion juice or warm olive oil. For ear infection go w ingested wild oil of oregano, or colloidal silver. EC Rocks! LUV N LIGHT- SUNNY (LA, CA)

For the past week or so I have had a crackling sound in my ear, first noticed when I eat. Outer location is mid to lower ear. Ear is not sore inflamed or infected. Please could you advise on a treatment as I would like to aid my body's ability in resolving this so it doesn't infect. Kind Regards, Sam.

Does anyone have a suggestion for "liquid in ear canal"? I've had that asked a few times and have experienced the same. Not always, just occasionally the problem is present. I've assumed this is either fungus produced or wax induced. I first try drying out with a Q-tip or Kleenex tightly rolled and carefully inserted into ear canal to dry it out. Often this does not work and the canal still has liquid within an hour.
I've treated with a tiny bit of clay mixed with a bit of purified water and that is saturated until "creamy" and then gently with a Q-tip a bit is placed into ear canal and I try to line the canal with the wet clay. The clay dries and cleans out the canal eventually falling out over the next day. That has been a good solution, but am looking for any other suggestions, both as to cause and treatment.
Thanks.

Daily: I apply apple cider vinegar to a q-tip and hold in each ear for a few seconds.
I am able to work on the telephone without blocked ear drums. The pain has stopped. I have also regained inner ear balance. I feel like a new person.
Try it, it will work within 1 to 3 days. I have felt a little iritation come back once I stopped for a day, so I am continuing treatment daily and it is keeping my ears clear and healthy.
