Ear feeling blocked

2021-07-04 06:28:29
I am feeling that my right ear suddenly gets closed while sleeping and I can't hear from that side. This is happening from last 15 days. I have put clearwax drops 2-3 times but no help. I have never had any problems related to ent. Ear also seems clean no wax clogged seen. What is the reason of ear being closed suddenly and it remains closed for about half hour then it opens. I feel like something sticks together inside the ear. What should I do??
