Ugh.

Okay, so I've been trying to get over this cold for three weeks now. Which, ya know, is fine. Whatever.

But the fact that BOTH of my ears have been completely plugged up for the last three days, and are showing no signs of being *unplugged* anytime soon, is REALLY REALLY FRUSTRATING. Especially since I work with children all day and I can't hear them if they try to ask me something. And the teachers I work with try and talk to me and I can't hear them unless I'm within a couple of feet and even then, they have to be talking loudly. I'm supposed to teach a science club tomorrow and I won't be able to hear my students.

I've tried everything I know of to get my ears unblocked (and have checked WebMD for suggestions). It's related to congestion from my cold (it's not an ear infection - I've had those and this isn't it), so I've tried decongestants.

Does anyone have any ideas?
