Is it normal that my ears are still plugged up and that Saturday I will finish my antibiotics?

What I can suggest is to use a nasal spray such as Dristan, Drixoral or other for a maximum of 3 to 5 days, after confirming with your pharmacist that this type of product is safe for you (according to your medical history and current treatments in particular).

10 to 15 minutes after spraying, I suggest the Valsalva maneuver: take a deep breath, then close your mouth and pinch the nostrils of your nose and try to exhale as if you were blowing into a balloon while keeping your lips closed.

If the situation does not improve after 3 days, you should consult a doctor as a precaution.

I am available if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
