Suggest Treatmemt For Severe Cold And Plugged Ears
local decongestant nose drops.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
Ear infections typically take long to heal.
They can take 4 - 6 weeks to subside completelely
Nasal sprays or decongestants do not affect digestion.
You will do well with local decongestant nasal drops like otrivin.
Decongestant nose drops improve the fuctioning of the eustachian tube which in turn helps to ventilate the ear. Good ventilation of the ear aids in early recovery from infection.
You should instill 3 drops of otrivin in each nostril 3 times daily and then follow it up with steam.
One word of caution - please check the contents of the nasal spray that has been prescribed to you. If it contains decongestant then it cannot be used continuosly for more than 7 days at a time.
Also you mentioned that you have allergies. Please have your ENT check for nasal allergies as well. If present then they should be treated immediately. In the presence of untreated nasal allergies ear infections tend to persist.
You should also blow balloons and chew gum , they help to ventilate the ear.
Drink plenty of water and avoid airconditioning.
If your sinus symptoms persist then you should see a doctor soon because you may need another course of antibiotics.
