Medical Update/ I'm Halfway Deaf.

[robby]

My ears are plugged up, especially my right ear, to the point that I have to hold the telephone to my left ear to hear. I don't think it's serious, and there's nothing to do about it, but I hope it clears up quickly.

You saw a doc and he/she said there was nothing to do? Maybe a neti pot sinus-clearing thing (well, I know my ears feel plugged up when my sinuses are congested, which seems to be all the damn time)?

No doc for me, I think this is just a minor annoyance.

This happened to me not too long ago.

Just put a little bit of aloe vera juice on a cotton swab (a Q-tip would be good) and put it in your ear before you go to bed. You should feel some relief, if not complete relief tomorrow.

It doesn't have to be organic aloe vera juice, it can be a cheapo brand with a preservative.

OK, thanks I'll try it.
