Your ears might get blocked due to an ear infection or excessive wax in the ears. It can also be due to plugged ears.
- Chew sugar free gums while exercising to promote extra saliva production and act of swallowing.
- If your ears get plugged while exercising try yawning. Yawning often also helps to unplug the ears.
- Try to blow air closing both your nostrils and mouth. This will create a pressure that will help the ears to unblock.
- Add a drop of warm mineral oil or baby oil to the ears. This will help to drain the excessive wax from the ears.
- Place cotton balls in the ears before starting any exercise. It would prevent blocking of the ears.
Consult a specialist if the problem worsens as the underlying cause might be sometimes serious.
