Clogged ears: after cold, fluid in the middle ears which you are receiving an antibiotic for.Saline nasal washes would help relieve the congestion in your nasal cavity and your throat, that will help open up the Eustachian tubes and relieve the pressure in your middle ears,OTC steroid nasal sprays can help too, read the instructions on how to use them right,and whether they suit your case. C ur MD if not better

Pop ears with valsalva manuever 5 or more times per hour to force air into eustachian tube. if does not clear after conversative treatment. insertion of PE tube may be indicated. FU with ENT.
