4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Sometimes during a cold the eustachian tube(s) swell shut, giving sensation of fullness in middle ear or preventing fluid from draining. Otc decongestant like sudafed &/or chewing gum can help open tube for symptom relief. Caution if u have high blood pressure as decongestants can elevate bp; if this is your case, consult with doc before using decongestant; may need temporary increase in BP med.
