text: After having both my eardrums blow and recovering only 75% in one ear I know alot about this. There a few different things to try. ""First of all and I repeat Dont listen to us If it is bad go to the doctor thats what they are for.""  Now for my suggestions take sudafed it works wonders, the green sudafed with guaphafenasen(sic) is best.  Second take a warm compress and apply it to the affected ear. Third pinch your nose and blow and your ears will pop and everything will sound a little wierd but it helps with the pressure. Personally I dont think poring stuff in your ear is the best idea. Above all else and I stress this GO TO THE DOCTOR if it is bad. No one on here is gonna suffer through the pain of having tubes put in your ears "I have one in both and it sucks" or you could end up at least temporarily deaf or worse.
