Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Can anyone suggest good remedies for sore throat and clogged ears? I am in day 10 of this strange illness, which involves completely clogged up ears, sore throat, bronchial cough, and lots of phlegm. I have no fever and no nasal congestion. I finally have got some reduction of the phlegm with a long acupuncture treatment and some chinese herbs, but it's not gone by any means, just reduced. And the ears are still just as clogged, throat still sore, and still coughing. This does not respond to antiviral or antibacterial treatment. OTC cold remedies help a little, especially guaifenesin, but they don't do all I need. I can't hear properly and my ears are ringing and I just can't get them to unclog no matter what I do. My throat is still sore and the only things that help are stress dosing of HC (which mutes the soreness for awhile, but then I get a rebound effect in the evening after the last HC dose wears off) and chicken soup (which only helps while I'm eating it, and I can really only eat so much chicken soup Any suggestions? -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
