My ears are clogged is there a home remedy or how long does it take to unclogged?
It depends on what's clogging your ears. If it's ear wax, you can flush it out gently with warm water, using a small bulb syringe. Results are immediate, and make sure water is not cold. Just look for "Ear Wax Removal" in your local pharmacy. If you really want to get holistic, you can go to a health food store and buy "Ear Wax Candles". You stick candle in your ear, light other with fire and it sucks out the wax using negative pressure. Believe it or not, those things work, but they're a bit of a fire hazard, and I recommend you get a friend to help you so you don't get hurt. If you're clogged from a cold or upper respiratory illness and do not want to use decongestants, you can turn on hot water in your shower, close the door, and inhale the warm steam. Let someone know what you're doing and limit to 3-5 min at a time, or you may pass out. If you're clogged from barotrauma/altitude issues (scuba diving, flying) just wait it out, the ear drum will pop back to normal in about a week. Hope this helps!
