how long does this last? was stuffy for a couple days prior now all i have is a clogged sometimes pressure filled ear.

what can i do about it? i'm pregnant so i can't take alot of otc drugs for sinuses....other than tyelnol sinus but if i don't have to ingest pills, that would be great....any ear drops work?

thanks.

great.....well, at least i know i'm not missing anything with not being able to take antibiotics since i'm pregnant....

do you have any other symptoms or is this just it? this is the only issue i have but it's a pain!

Do you have any pain, or is your ear just plugged?
My ear was plugged for several weeks and I thought for sure I had an infection, but there wasn't any pain and my doctor said it was most likely drainage from allergies. Decongestants and antihistamines helped me, but if you can't take that- I'm not sure about any ear drops helping. Call your doctor's office and speak with a nurse and ask for suggestions.

thanks again.
