A member asked:
My left ear blocks when i lay down at night and then unblocks when i wake up. it just started 3 days ago. last year i had etd in that ear. the only thing i did differently recently is take a claritin. if its etd again can claritin make it worse?

No: Clartin will not hurt but will not help either. If your left ear is block only at night, I suspect that the problem is not from your ear but from your jaw particularly if you clench or grind your teeth during sleep. Consult your dentist.
