What Helps Congested Ears

Relieving congested ears naturally targets Eustachian tube blockages and mucus buildup. Steam inhalation opens tubes, reducing pressure. Hydration thins mucus, aiding drainage. Gentle nasal irrigation clears connected sinus mucus. Chewing gum stimulates tube opening, equalizing pressure. Avoiding dairy reduces mucus production. These otolaryngology-backed methods, supported by clinical studies, alleviate ear congestion safely.

  • Inhale steam for 10 minutes to open tubes.
  • Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
  • Use a saline nasal rinse once daily.
  • Chew gum to stimulate tube opening.
  • Avoid dairy to minimize mucus production.

Eucalyptus: Decongestant properties reduce mucus, easing ear pressure.
Ginger: Anti-inflammatory effects reduce tube swelling.
