One of my ears feels like it needs to pop-what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Move lower jaw: It may be a eustacian tube that is clogged on that side, or it may be wax or debris in the outer ear canal. Open your jaw half way and move your chin from side to side...This may open the eustacian tube. Try a decongestant, also. Have someone check your outer ear canal for wax or debris. You may need to irrigate the ear canal to remove debris.
