I have pressure in my ears
Female | 31
Having your ears feel pressurized is uncomfortable. Ear pressure comes from colds, allergies, sinus infections, or altitude changes. You're on an airplane, and everything feels blocked up. To ease pressure, try these tricks: yawning, chewing gum, holding your nose and swallowing gently. But if pressure persists or worsens, see an ENT specialist promptly.

How many times albendazole and lvermicin can I take in a year

Using albendazole or ivermectin improperly can harm your health. A doctor prescribes albendazole one or two times yearly to treat intestinal worms.
