    Sometimes a good yawn will help. I've also tried a warm (not as hot as id normally have) wheat bag while laying on one side around the ear to help loosen the gunk and then tried the hold nose while trying to unblock/ yawn. I found the wheat bag also helped ease the pain of the ear infection too.

    Hate to break it to you.. But sometimes you can't unblock an infected blocked ear. You have to let it run its course..

    The infection can cause more mucus than normal, and it doesn't drain away in your ear as easily as an uninfected ear.. So it pools until the infection goes down..

    As frustrating as it is, you may just have to let it be..

    yeah... sorry sweetness... but I too have found that sometimes... there's just nothing you can do!!! panadol for pain can sometimes make it less annoying, but otherwise... you might just have to wait!!!

    (if you do figure out any fancy tricks I sure would love to know... last time I had an ear infection I too found it SOOO annoying! I could barely hear a thing!)

    hope you feel better soon
