Suggest Ways To Clear Clogged Ears

Recently when talking my ears become plugged then it eventually goes away. Started swimming for several months, 1 - 2 times a week and just started using earplugs when swimming. Didn t like how water was going into my ears, slightly irritating but fine after coming out of the water.

Hi,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of clogging in the ears which is due to ear infection, eustachian tube dysfunction and swimmers ear.

Need not to worry about it. I would suggest you to visit Otolaryngologist/ ENT specialist once and get it evaluated and start treatment after proper examination. Apply warm compresses on ear and avoid excessive bending forward. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin along with Ibuprofen. You should put Otogesic ear drops. Get all the lab tests done and complete examination with otoscope. You should take proper rest. Try to avoid pricking it with any sharp object. You should avoid sleeping on this side.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
