Ear Ache
13 Answers
I've had a head cold for a few weeks now and it's moved into my ear. I just feel bunged up and loud or sharp noises have the same impact as I imagine a screwdriver through my ear canal would have...
I've had the ear ache for about 5 days or so now, any tips for how to alleviate it (medical or old wives) would be appreciated!

I'm struggling to hear properly, in fact my friend phoned me yesterday to tell me her mother had died suddenly and I couldn't make her out. Feel awful as she had to yell it down the phone for me.
I've been holding my nose and "popping" my ear to relieve the pressure.

2sp, I have exactly the same problem. It's always my left ear. I think the euthsian tube ( I know I have spelt it wrong) gets blocked which causes the pain.
I have started with steam with a drop of Olbas added to the water and towel over head and inhale. I have also read that chewing gum can stretch this tube which then releases the build up of fluid. I also feel a bit if balance with it.
Hope this has helped you.
