Hi, I m getting over what I m guessing was a cold or a sinus issue and my ears have been stopped up for the last 3 or so days. They are not hurting but it is constant pressure which gets worse when I lay down. Its like they are filled with water or something. Please help
It is fluid accumulation behind your ear drum which we call Otitis media with Effusion which is common after sore throat and cold episode. It will take a while to recover, take steam inhalation twice daily, the recovery will be faster.
