Post Stapedectomy--Do you have problems when you catch a cold?

I had two stapedectomy surgeries in the last six years. My hearing has improved one hundred percent. Sometimes my ears get blocked when I have a cold. Also, is it common to get more colds now?

    No it is not more common to get colds now as you have to come in contact with the cold virus to catch a cold. You immune system is obviously down if you catch colds frequently so take a good mulitvitamin and antioxidant supplement that is well abosbed by the body so you stay healthy. For clogged ears get some Sudafed from the pharmacy.
