How do I unclog my ears?

Every fall I get a sinus infection, then it morphs into an ear infection with my ears clogging up for weeks. I am so congested in my ears now, and I have been this way over a month. I have been to an ENT and he cleans (Irrigates) them and prescribes pseudo-ephedrine, but I am still congested for weeks. I want to hear!!!

    Try another ENT. I mean if the cleaning is not the correction than maybe you need to find out what the deal is. Did you have tubes as a kid? And the sinus thing. Try attacking the problem at this end. Are you taking other drugs to dry your sinuses? If you are you might want to go more natural. Check this out here. http://www.healingdaily.com/exercise/neti-pot.htm. This is the grossest thing you will ever do but once I did it I never got a sinus "infection" again. Don't recommend doing it in mixed company. But if it works for you you will become a crusader for a more natural approach. Maybe that's the ticket for you. But if you are taking sinus stuff that too can cause a rebound effect and block all sorts of important tubes. Just thinking.

    Change Doctors , u need ANTIBIOTICS to clear the infection. If you're prone to sinus problems always do this at begining of the SINUS SEASON so it does'nt progress evey year
