5. Warm Compress
If the ears are clogged due to allergies, an infection, a cold or the flu, a warm compress can be used to help clear the blockage. Pour hot water onto a clean washcloth, wring it out and press it against the skin, just below the affected ear, for approximately 15 minutes.
This can be a soothing way to help reduce congestion, open up the eustachian tube and bring relief for clogged ears.
