Hello ,
My ears are clogged since I cleaned them using earbuds from 2 days. There is a feeling of pressure in both the ears and discomfort in hearing and this is very irritating. Always feel like stretching ears to hear normal
Been using soliwax drops for a day now.
Please suggest suitable procedure since cannot come down to clinic due to lockdown and what else needs to be done.
Will be very thankful.

Most likely, the wax has got pushed deep in the canal while you were cleaning, causing you the above symptoms. Continue soliwax eardrops, 2 drops 3 times a day for 5 to 7 days.
Also do not use the buds or any other way of self cleaning again.
Next Steps
If the symptoms are not improving, you will require your ears to be cleaned by ENT specialist.
