How do you cure muffled hearing after an ear infection?
There are a few things you can do to try to cure muffled hearing after an ear infection:
* Use over-the-counter ear drops. Ear drops can help to reduce inflammation and pain in the ear. Look for ear drops that contain an antibiotic or a steroid.
* Apply a warm compress to your ear. Applying a warm compress can help to improve circulation and reduce congestion in the ear.
* Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking plenty of fluids can help to keep your mucus thin and flowing, which can help to relieve congestion in the ear.
* Avoid blowing your nose too hard. Blowing your nose too hard can force air into your ear and cause further damage.
* Use a humidifier. Using a humidifier can help to keep the air in your home moist, which can help to relieve congestion in the ear.
* Get some rest. Rest can help your body to heal from the ear infection.
If your muffled hearing does not improve after a few days, or if you have any other symptoms, such as pain, fever, or discharge from the ear, you should see a doctor. They may prescribe antibiotics or other medications to treat the infection.
