My right ear feels like it's blocked due to ear wax. What should I do? And does a doctor removes ear wax or I would have to do it by myself?

Hello well Ent Doctor does remove the ear wax but then if the wax is hard or impacted then you need to use you are drop some like soliwax for about 5 days which will soften the wax and then we can remove the wax by syringing or suctioning...Thank you

Yes! Only an ENT Specialist can clean out your ears gently! NEVER attempt to do it yourself as you will invariably injure yourself!
