A member asked:

What is the best treatment for fluids in middle ear and popping ears?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Antihistamine: There are plenty of antihistamine non-prescription drugs in the market that can open up your sinuses. Afrin (oxymetazoline) spray for a few days works well, unless you have high blood pressure.
