Finding Relief from Sinus-Related and Other Ear Congestion
What can you do to decongest your ears naturally?
Gently blowing through your nose while pinching your nostrils and keeping your mouth closed can help equalize the pressure in your ears and relieve congestion.
Inhaling steam from a bowl of hot water or taking a hot shower can help loosen mucus.
Applying a warm, damp washcloth to the affected ear can help soothe discomfort and promote drainage.
How do you get sinus fluid out of your ear?
Oral or nasal decongestants can help reduce swelling in the nasal passages, which can aid in draining fluid from the ears.
You can also use a neti pot to rinse your nasal passages.
How long do congested ears last?
Congested ears caused by the common cold or allergies may resolve within a few days to a week as the underlying condition improves.
However, if the congestion is due to a more persistent issue such as chronic sinusitis, Eustachian tube dysfunction, or an ear infection, it may last longer and require specific treatment.
