How to Get Rid of Ear Pressure
Ear pressure is sometimes, but not always, a result of an ear infection. Ear pressure happens when there is an obstruction of the Eustachian tube (usually due to inflamation), causing unequal pressure in the ear. This can be painful. There are several home remedies to relieve ear pressure, including garlic, onions, and cinnamon oil. There are several ways for using onions and treating ear pressure. Hot onion juice, cool onion juice, and a raw onion against the ear can help with ear pressure.
