I had a clogged right ear for two weeks due to a bacterial infection. As I was blowing my nose really hard both my ears clogged up, but within a hour my left ear cleared up. My right ear ended up being clogged for a week before i gone to the doctors and was prescribed antibiotics. The antibiotics helped me get better, but my right ear was still clogged for another week.

How did I clear up my clogged ear? I did NOTHING. I woke up in the morning and blew both of the gunk out of my left and right nostrils. Slowly, the pressure in my right ear dissipated and i was able to hear after a hour.

Things i tried and didn't work:
- Murine liquid for ear wax. Doesn't help in anyways if your eustachian tube is blocked.
- Pinching my nose, closing my mouth and trying blow through my nose.
- Mutliple showers, and breathing in steam over a bowl of hot water.
- Chewing gum, and Yawning.

I was initially concerned when my doctor said it will heal by itself, but he was right. I just got better and the eustachian tube opened up.
