Going to the store tomorrow, going to buy the kit that has the plunger in it and see about flushing my ear out. If this doesn’t work the next stop is the urgent care. I tried to use more hydrogen peroxide today and that just made things worse. The weird thing is if I pull the skin near my ear tight or like swish around my ear with my hand I hear it pop and like kind of open up. I even tried doing the trick of closing my nose with my hand and blowing on my ear drums and it almost feels like it wants to pop. But I realize that way is dangerous and I could pop my ear drum.

    A little decongestant might help your ear drain, but it can also raise your blood pressure. Something to keep in mind.

      This is where it’s at. I had a stubborn ear infection years ago that I kept trying weird shit on, and it wouldn’t help. Finally tried pseudoephedrine Hcl and it cured it in like a day or two. Something about just drying your out shit out for awhile I guess helps. Makes sense.
