A couple months ago, I woke up with a plugged up ear. I figured it was just a minor congestion issue, and that it would go away soon. I didn’t get checked out for it. A few days pass, and my ear is still plugged. Anyway, after a couple weeks pass, I see a doctor about it. The doctor said that I had some fluid in my middle ear, and then sold me some decongestants to help the draining process. It took some time, but finally my ears (yes, my other ear eventually got plugged up) became unplugged. In the process of taking the decongestants, my ears started ringing. Now, even though my ears have been unplugged for about a month, I still have the tinnitus (ringing in the ears). It’s constant, and doesn’t go away. And you know the sound your ears make when you swallow? The "click" sound? Well, my ears aren’t making that sound anymore. Is there a chance that there is still a small amount of fluid in my ear? If so, could that be responsible for the tinnitus? Anything I can do at home to help?
