A member asked:

I've had a sinus infection for 8 days. my ear is now clogged or blocked. how can i treat it and how can i sleep to prevent further pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sinusitis: You might try saline irrigation with a Neti-pot, a decongestant like pseudoephedrine or oxymetozaline, saline gargles. If these do not work go back to the doctor and be re-examined. Best wishes.
