Hi,
I am new to this forum. I hope someone can help me regarding my problem.
I had a cold/flu for 6 days now. After seeing yellow/green dishcarge from my nose on last Wednesday and having a long history of sinusitis, I went to the doctor but he told me that it does not need antibiotics.
I had to blow my nose every 15-30 minutes during past days and although I was still seeing the yellow/green discharge, it looks like it is getting better.
This morning after blowing my nose and a bit coughing (and they were too hard I think), my left ear got blocked and I think something has gone into my ear. It is not blocked completely and when I bend over or tilt my head to the right it becomes unblocked but when I return my head to the normal position it becomes (partially) blocked again, I do not have any pain though.
Unfortunately I do not have access to the doctor until Tuesday (3 days from now), and obviously this thing is very disturbing. My question is that is there anything that can help me or I should (or should not) do? how long does it take for the fluid to be absorbed or come out? and more importantly, on which side should I sleep tonight to prevent it from getting worse and/or help the fluid come out?
Thanks in advance for your help.
