Home remedies for ear clogging

There could be several reasons for your ears to be clogged. If you have recently suffered from a bad cold then your ears are likely to be clogged. Some people who are prone to sinusitis infections also notice that their ears clog very often and easily. Trying to cure the infection is the best option. If you have sinusitis, then your nasal passages are probably full of phlegm. Trying to blow your nose might help you clear the obstruction in your ears.

Some people find that their ears are clogged soon after they get off a flight. You have not mentioned if you have any other symptoms along with the clogged ear. Sometimes your ear might be clogged due to an infection of the ear. A complete examination by your doctor will help you ascertain the correct reason for the clogging. Some people find yawning several times in succession very helpful in clearing up the clogged ears. It is not advisable to insert anything into your ear, in the hope of clearing up the clogged ear. Instead, if the clogging is because of an infection of the throat or a bad cold, you can try inhaling some steam to which some eucalyptus oil has been added. The steam will help clear your nose and this will help the ears too.
