Aren't fat balls kind of tricky to send through the post? If it gets hot, your customers could end up with stinking balls of putrescence.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

I have a blocked ear.:( No idea how it got stuff so quickly but I've been really grumpyall evening because of it, so keeping to myself. I've spent the time,instead, pouring olive oil down it, massaging my face and neck and all around the ear but the wretch won't clear. I'd really love to have my ears syringed but because I've had perforated eardrums its not allowed.:( Instead you just have to do this olive oil thing which is totally unsatisfactory.

Sudafed might help.
Really? I might try that tomorrow... to be honest i find ''irritants'' like this worse than pain (it sounds quite attention seeking, which its not meant to but I'm used to pain) and would walk backwards on tiptoes starkers round a public roundabout four times if someone told me it might help.:o:D0 -

Have you tried steaming your head? As in, the old fashioned cold remedy (boiling water with some salt, and a towel over you head, for around 5-10 minutes a day, three times a day) breath the steam in through the nose, not the mouth, if possible. Gargling salt water might work as well if the source of the mucus is an infection.
Ye olde fashioned remedies.
It's not as good as syringed, but when that's not an option...“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Will this help and ear too? I shall try. TBH I've assumed its wax rather than a infection. Hope its not a nasty, I've been holding heat up to it so if it is I'll be in trouble later:o0 -
ear, nose and throat are all linked, so remedies for one should help another.
