"I am congested and my ears are blocked?"

If you are experiencing congestion and blocked ears, it is recommended to try using a nasal decongestant spray like Drixoral or Dristan. You can spray 2 times in each nostril, twice a day for up to 5 days. Additionally, you can try the valsalva technique by taking a deep breath, then holding your nose and closing your mouth while attempting to exhale. Swallowing immediately after can help rebalance sinus pressure. If these methods do not work after 3 days, it may be advisable to consult a doctor as a precaution.
