essy4567	If you have some eye contact solution in your medicine cabinet, that will work like saline. I got that tip from an ICCU nurse. Or you could try a tiny bit of peroxide in the ear. Maybe a Q-tip dipped in it. And if his nose is stuffed up, I like to put a little Vicks Vaporub under my nose, then take a nice hot shower. It works like a vaporizer! Hope he feels better soon! :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lahtidah	Vicks Vicks Vicks and Vicks... the cure all for everything. A little Vicks in his affected ear and then place a cotton ball in the ear. Put a heating pad on it (set to low or medium, depending on how much heat he can take). If you don't have a heating pad, take a wet washcloth and heat it up in the microwave (not more than 30 seconds, you don't want it scalding hot) and put it in a baggy or plastic sack (that way he won't get wet). You have to keep re-heating it, but it does the trick. Essentials at my house: Vicks Vaporub, Vicks Baby Bath, Hot Steamer, Heating Pad, Night-time expectorant that helps them sleep.

dave_careaga	I generally find that placing a hot/warm washcloth or something on your forehead will help to Loosen up some of the excess mucus in your sinuses. Once you start draining some of that out, the pressure you feel inside your head should start to lighten up. Repeat as needed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

shmoo	Saline rinse will help. I just had one went to the doctor and she told me to do the sinse rinse w/Flonase. It's helping. You can get it at WalGreens or online but that would take awhile. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sawyer	garlic. Olive Leaf. Goldenseal/Echinacea capsules. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

linzip1212	any over the counter Decongestant... Pseudophed is the best, I think... When my son's ear would get clogged the pharmacist told me to put a cap full of peroxide in it... let it bubble then flush warm water in it while holding you head, ear facing down, over the sink using a ear dropper.... All stuff you can get at a local drugstore... feel better Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
