How to Clear Up Ear Congestion
- 1). Attempt a large, long yawn. Yawning can bring air into the ear canal and help clear up the congestion. It may not remove the problem entirely, but it can help.
- 2). Chew on gum, food or anything else you can find for your mouth. Chewing can help loosen up the ear congestion.
- 3). Drink liquids. Like chewing and yawning, swallowing can have a positive effect on your ear congestion.
- 4). Use a decongestant nasal spray. The nasal spray can help brake up the mucus and relieve the congestion.
- 5). Continue using all the methods for the next several days. The ear congestion should pass within two days of when it started.
