Yesterday, I gently syringed my blocked ear out using room temperature water, as per the directions. I didn't get instant relief but things started to move over the course of the afternoon. Snap, crackle, pop! One thing it did do...was make me dizzy! The room was spinning for a minute then things settled down.
By last night, my ear had unblocked but I am left with slight ringing in both ears, but I have a bit of that usually. I hope this will settle down as I lose the cough and congestion.
My ribs are so sore, I had to get up at 5.30am as I couldn't get comfortable in bed, so I'm in for a long day!
I'm getting there, I guess!

I hope you keep on improving and that wellness is not far away. It's icky being so sick! Meg:)
ReplyDeleteSurely I've turned the corner now that my ears have improved!
DeleteI am feeling your pain.
ReplyDeleteI have had a hacking cough for a few weeks which is fading but I now have a face full of cold sores which are so painful that my Dr has now given me a script for anti-viral cream.
Cold sores are one thing I've never had but I know how miserable they make you feel. I hope you have relief soon!
DeleteM husband has problems with was build up in his ear and his specialists goes mad at GP's who try to syringe it or tell the patients to do it themselves! But glad you have some relief!
