Poor hearing after a cold

[Priesty]

I've recently had a cold that has cleared up apart from my ears. It feels like i'm wearing a crash helmet. Will a decongestant like sudafed clear my ears?

This has happened to me in the past. It took some time to clear but it will clear up. Its just part of the ear, nose and throat thing you get with a cold.

I am currently taking one Sudafed three times a day for chronic sinusitis, it is certainly helping both my head & ears. If this doesn't help, it might be best to see your GP.

Hope you feel better soon.

Pardon?

[tiggerblue10]

Is your eyesight going as well? Lol

Don't understand why youv'e written 'pardon' Priesty - could you elaborate?

P'rapes it would have been more polite to say: "Thank you for your replies tigger & smudge, but I don't understand what you're on about"! lol ;o}

I think he/she was having a laugh as he couldn't hear properly. But then you don't hear the answers, you read them. Thats why I aksed if the eyesight was going as well.

Lol :)

Ha, ha, I got that one tigger & was going to recommend Optrex too, lol. Good to have a sense of humour! ;o}

i had this problem once. i found that a few drops of olive oil in each ear every morning helped to clear the wax and got me hearing again :)
