My right ear has been blocked for two days. How do I unblock it?

We have used two different methods in my household, first
with a solution of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, and second, with baby oil.
However, an ear blockage could be something that you cannot fix at home, and if these
methods are not helpful, you should seek medical help.


At
some point, I purchased a purchased some product containing eye drops, so that I could
have a dropper, and I make a mixture of about 1/4 hydrogen peroxide and 3/4 water.  A
few drops in the ear might do the trick.  Usually it takes some time, perhaps an hour,
and might need to be done a few times.  Some people use a few drops every day in each
ear to prevent buildup and blockage.


The same kind of
dropper can be used to put a few drops of baby oil in the ear.  This also takes some
time to work.  And again, some people do this regularly for routine
maintenance.


Try one of these methods to see if the
blockage can be cleared, but I do want to emphasize how important it is to seek medical
attention if these home remedies are not effective.  Most internists, general
practitioners, and pediatricians have equipment for clearing an ear blockage, and any of
them can determine if there is a more serious problem and provide a referral to a
specialist.  This is not meant to make you worry, but to make you aware.  Good
luck!

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
