my presonal cold killing combo.
cup of chamomile tea
chicken soup
multivitamin
glass of orange juice
2 nightime cold pill
Hot shower to flush sinuses
and right to bed by 9pm

As for your sinuses and ear, just stop fucking with them. They naturally drain while you sleep and trying to pop your ears and poking around just increases chances you will spead it around or cause an infection.

just to clarify you believe that the fluid that built up because of the netti pot will drain while i sleep? to do this would i want to lay on that ear, or on the opposite ear?

also that is not a cold killing combo, that is jsut basic symptom treatment

It'll probably drain into your sinuses

Lay with the sore ear on your pillow or on your back so it drains either out of your ear(see MD if and blood) or down your throat while you sleep(normally).

If it has been days, chances are its already infected and a doc with prescribe antibiotics.

it literally happened like 5 minutes ago so im hoping to take care of it. if it still hurts tomorrow my doctors office is across the street from my work.

if the fluid came in through my nose, would it really drain out of my ear? feels like it'd be easier to drain back in. so laying on my back seems best. it just hurts to swallow now

take over counter meds for symptoms. If you still feel like there is fluid in your ears see a doc about it.

Your nose, throat and ears are connected so sometimes a cold leads to an ear infection and sore throat.

Basically you gotta chill and focus on fighting your sick for a bit and if its still there after a couple of days see a doc for proper assessment.

>Your nose, throat and ears are connected

Take care of your cold. Your ears will drain naturally, you sperg
