blocked ears

[SEKELE01]

I have had blocked ears and coughing yellow phlem up for almost 2 months; it's beginning to clear this past week in my ears and the cough isn't as bad.  I am taking pseudaphed during the day, benadryl at night and flonase.  (Bad spelling)  Now my throat is tight and it feels like I am about to get larengitis.

Is it getting better or worse; should i keep doing what I am doing.  I am also using afrin once in a while, and i have not allowed my ears to get wet in the shower for the past week.

Yellow phlegm usually indicates an infection, and all the other symptoms are also infection-like, but only a doctor can officially diagnose it.  The meds you are using won't work well, and it's best to avoid afrin altogether.

The ear thing is probably an infection of the eustachian tubes, so getting your ears wet probably won't matter, but like I said, only a doctor can say for sure. If a doctor does diagnose infection, a Neilmed Sinus Rinse is the best treatment, not antibiotics.
