Popped ear

[Flixsfoilball]

Does anyone have any tips for unpopping an ear? Mine popped on Friday and just won't unpop, it's starting to really bother me as my head feels really full and I feel a little off balance if I sit up to quickly

Poor you. It sounds like either your ear or sinus's are a bit blocked. You will just have to let it sort itself I think. A warm flannel over the ear might give some relief. A decongestant tablet might help too.

You can buy ear unblockers online, they’re like little balloons that equalise the pressure. I found it really helpful as I get it a lot!

Thanks, I will try both of those suggestions!

I can do this by pinching my nose and blowing hard with my mouth shut.

Thanks Sheeeesh, I have tried that, moving my lower jaw from side to side, yawning, chewing, swallowing etc - it's stubborn 🤦‍♀️

Good ol' blocked eustachian tubes. They suck.

Given you've gone through the usual exercises, you could try an antihistamine if you have spring allergies. Or a decongestant, which might not help and has a chance of making it worse - they work by reducing the amount fluid in your snot rather than reducing the amount of snot, so it gets denser and may make it even more plugged.
