I am suffering from cold since 3-4 days. Every year I got this because of season. The problem is that my ear feels like it blocks sounds because of cold. What to do to get relief from this problem? I am taking montelukast sodium and levocetirizine hydrochloride tablets. And for nasal congestion problem I am using nasal spray. Please help.

Follow this 1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.

Deaar lybrate-user, relax and calm down. You have (allergic rhinitis) allergy of nose, furthermore you therefore suffer from (otitis media with effusion) fluid in your ears. This happens because the nose is connected to your ears by the (eustachian tube) ear to nose tubes on both sides. Fluid in ears leads to chalky patches in your ear drums which if ignored may result in deafness. Please therefore consult a good ent specialist as soon as possible so that the severity of the allergy can be assessed and appropriate treatment be given. Sincerely.
