Blocked ear

2017-05-17 16:16:55
My left ear is blocked. There is no pain,  irritation or tinnitus. It's been about ten days since this problem started and hasn't gone till now. I tried cleaning my ears with buds but that is not helping. I have clearwax drops with me. Can I use it for this purpose?
