[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 680856, member: 1233"] Trust your instincts. If they say it is trapped fluid, do research to find out if it is possible and take the info to your doctor. It is your body and you know it better than any doctor because you live in it. It almost sounds like clogged Eustachian tubes. Can you yawn? If you can then the tubes are likely clear. If you cannot, they may be blocked. I only have two suggestions to help. First is to put a few drops of peroxide in your ear. Lay on one and pour a few drops into the ear, enough so that it drips down into the ear. It may sound like firework, which is fine. It is just the peroxide cleaning in there. Stay on your side for a few minutes until the fireworks slow down or stop Then hold a few tissues against your ear and sit up, letting the peroxide drip out Repeat in other ear. This helps clean out your ear so that anything can drain. It really helps my kids when the wax builds up and won't come out. It also helps if you have a cold. it usually shortens my colds by a few days. My other suggestion is to use a sinus rinse bottle or neti pot. They both rinse out your sinuses. I know that Walgreen's carries them, so other stores probably do too. The neti pot is used during a shower usually. You pour the water into your nose and it rinses out anything in your sinuses.
