Can Decongestant Be Used To Unclog Ear?

Dr prescribed Neomycin and polymyxin B Sulfate with Hydecortisine for otitis externa. After taking for a dayy ear feels about 40% clogged. The pain from the infection is improved, but I don t like this clogged feeling at all. I ve taken a degongestant room see if it was my inner ear, but that had no impact. Your thoughts?
