Middle ear fluid: The fluid occurs from plugged eustachian tubes and trapped fluid and air bubbles in your middle ear space. This stuff doesn't clear up overnight. It can take weeks (sometimes 6-8) for this fluid/air mixture to clear after it accumulates in the middle ear. Chew gum, pop your ears, plenty of humidity, sometimes decongestants can help. If bad pain see doc to make sure not infected.
