Suggest Remedy For Blocked Ear With Sinus Congestion

my right ear is clogged. I know I am having stuffy sinuses and have been taking Nyquil PM but has not helped my ear issue. Should I be taking a decongestant. If so, I hesitate to take them at night because I don t sleep that well under normal conditions. I am 73. Thanks for your help.Corinne

Hello, Nyquill pm has a decongestant as well. Are you having severe. headache also? If you dont have headache or fever together with your sinus problem you dont have to continue nyquill.
Take antihistamine like fexofenadine. small dose of dexamethazone and antibiotic like amoxycillin and Probeta nasal drops. Steam inhalation and having warm water or warm beverages also help. Hope this helps.Thank you.
