Woke up this morning and my ear is all stuffed up, it sounds like I ave cotton stuffed in there. I have tried to clear it out with a q-tip and nothing. I can pop my ear and then it will just go back. Tried flipping my head back and forth too, nothing is working. I am assuming it is water b/c it gets worse when I hold my head different ways and better when others. Like it's moving around in there. I really would rather not run to the docs for this b/c I have two kids and no one to watch them this afternoon so I will have to take them. Not fun. Anyone have any suggestions??
Oh, PS I used the bulb syringe thingy and that didn't work either.
Lay down with the ear with the water up. Take a medicine dropper and fill it with peroxide and drip it in your ear. The peroxide will dry up the fluid. Then flip your head so the peroxide comes out of your ear. I used to be a swimmer in high school...I had to do this many times!
K, hold on I will be back in a minute!
