Can I do anything about my ear from home

[Earwego22]

We all have flu in my house everyone is really unwell . There's no one who came help . Pop to shops or anything like that .

So today my nose has been awfully blocked and my chest was bad to . I managed to get bronco stop . And it's helps alot . My chest is no where near as bad as it was and my nose is not to blocked . But now my ear feels really blocked and it's painful. Its crackling and whooshing. It happend as soon as my nose became unblocked .

Is there anything I could do from home . That does not include sitting over steaming water . I would faint

Blocked ears caused by a viral respiratory illness are usually temporary and will get better as the infection clears. Don’t try to put anything in your ears, they don’t need cleaning out, and don’t try to “pop” them as this risks pushing bacteria into the eustachian tubes. Some menthol or eucalyptus in steaming water would help clear your sinuses, it’s worth giving it a go even if you don’t think you’re up to it. Give it a day or so, then see your GP to check for an infection if it still hasn’t gotten better.

Just do a couple of minutes over steam. It will help. Or even 30 seconds at a time.
