i am a new member of this forum. Over a
week ago my ears felt plugged and I went
to the doctors and was told I had wax in
my ears that is making them feel plugged.
I was told to put in 1 drop three times a
week of mineral oil and then go back in
three days to get my ears flushed with
water. The mineral oil was to soften the
wax so it was easily flushed out. I went
and had them flushed but my ears still
feel plugged although he looked and all
the wax was out. I was told to make
another appointment for three days later
and to continue to put the mineral oil in
my ears.
I decided to go to another doctor that
evening to get a second oppinon I was told
not to put anymore mineral oil in my ears
as the wax was all gone. He looked in my
ears and said that I probably have fluid
in my ears and to take a decongestion. He
gave me a bottle of benadril he said it
would make me sleepy and I didn't want to
be sleepy. He said to take it 4 time a
day. I have an appointment with the first
doctor I saw, tomorrow morning 9am. I
have not taken any of the benadril. When
I swallow I feel my ears pop but they
don't unplug I feel a little pressure in
my ears.
Had anyone had this plugged feeling in
their ears that won't go away? Should I
try the benadril? I was told at the
pharmasists to just take nose spray but
will that help my ears? I really don't
know what to do, I really don't like this
plugged feeling. Also I have constant
ringing in my ears which I had before the
plugged feeling. The ringing is much
louder and bugs me more than it usually
does.
I would like any comments, suggestions or
just someone to talk to about this.
Thanks you !

Plugged Ears Posted: 11-26-05 14:24pm
By now I hope your ears are not plugged
but I wonder what you found out? My
right ear has been plugged (no pain)
following a cold two weeks ago along with
my right tonsil hurting. Sore throat
goes aways and returns, changing tonsils
right to left and back. Now both ears and
plugged and my hearing is terrible. Any
suggestions?

I am curious to know what happened as I
have the same problem. Could you let us
know how long it took to unplug and what
helped.
