Fluid in the middle ear often clears up on its own. To help relieve congestion and drain the fluid, you can try over-the-counter nasal steroid sprays (like fluticasone) or oral decongestants (like pseudoephedrine), especially if it is triggered by a cold or allergies. If allergies are the cause, an antihistamine may also help. However, if you experience pain, fever, or persistent hearing loss, it could indicate an infection requiring prescription antibiotics. Please consult a doctor or an ENT specialist for a proper examination before starting any medication.
