Blocked ear whilst pregnant

[ShivWesker]

Hello.

My ear has been blocked for a week. I can't seem to get it to unblock but when I tilt my head certain ways it seems to unclog a little? I don't know what to do to get it to stop as it's really starting to irritate me. No pain at all just the lack of hearing.

Please help, I don't think I'm allowed to take decongestants when pregnant so I'm stuck on what to do. Tried ear drops/olive oil and it's done nothing.

Thank you xx

Are you thinking wax or blocked tubes after having a cold or something?

For ear drops/olive oil to work on wax you need to put them in twice a day for at least a week, preferably two. Don’t put cotton wool in after the olive oil or it sucks it all up.

For blocked eustachian tubes, try steam inhalation, but it can take a couple of weeks to clear after a cold.

I'm both my pregnancies my left ear was constantly blocked, no idea why but was very irritating so I feel your pain!

I had to have mine syringed when pregnant. Personally I would drop some warm olive oil in, then lie on my side for a while. Do this over a few nights and then run the shower into your ear, it’s cleared mine before.

Yeah I had a cold before this happened. I just want it to go away now ahaha 😂
