stopped up ear
A stopped up ear is due to a condition known as otitis media. This occurs when there is a viral or bacterial infection in the middle region of the ear. This infection results in the Eustachian tube being blocked. This in turn results in the ear being stopped up. A stopped up ear can be caused by many other factors as well and ear wax is one of them. There are several home remedies for clearing a stopped up ear. These are as follows:-
- The most important thing to remember is not to dig out the plug at all. This will only force the wax further into the ear and can have far reaching consequences like deafness. The best way to get wax out of a stopped up ear is to use a sterile eye dropper and hydrogen peroxide. Use the dropper and put several drops of hydrogen peroxide into your ear. Keep the drops in till they stop bubbling. Wipe your ear with a soft cloth and then flush out your ear with rubbing alcohol using the same eye dropper. This would help to evaporate the water left behind by the hydrogen peroxide.
- Splash warm water into your ear and tip your head down so that the opposite ear is resting on your shoulder. The stopped up ear should be pointing straight in the air. Keep this position for 10 seconds. Then lean over a sink and let the water drip out.
- Another natural cure for a blocked ear is to inhale deeply and then close up your nostrils and your mouth. Then try to expel the air. The air will try to escape through the ears and will therefore naturally open up the ear canal and the blockage. This should be done 5 times in one session.
- Use baby oil to soften any wax that is in your ear and has become hard. Place several drops of baby oil in the ear periodically through the day. It is better if you warm the oil slightly before using it. Check the temperature before putting it in your ear.
- Put a drop of warm olive oil or mineral oil in your ear. This will help loosen the wax. This is not recommended if you have perforations in your ears.
- Buy an ear wax irrigator if you are unable to remove the wax by the above methods. Fill it with warm water and squeeze it into your ear. Let your ear drain into the sink.
Remember that your ears are a very delicate organ of your body and need to be taken care of very gently. Any damage to the ear could have far reaching negative effects on your body. Consult your doctor for any medical treatment that you may require.
