Within the last few hours, my ears have both clogged up and they hurt very badly. They are filled with fluid and hearing is difficult. What can I do to help elleviate the pressure and pain immediately? Within the past few days, i have had some post nasel drip that caused a sore throat. I took Tylenol Allery Sinus medication, nighttime formula, it seemed to work. Now I have thissevere earache. My ears are pounding. I can hear my blood rushing though my head. It is impossible to bend down without severe pain and pressure. I am afraid that my ear drums will burst!

Go to the pharmacy and purchase some Sudafed. This should help, usually this deongestant is all you need to relieve some symptoms. Take some motrin to help the pain.

If this does not work by Monday, make an appointment with an ENT. (ear, nose and throat specialist) for an examination and accurate diagnosis.

If you have more questions, let me know.
