Help ear problem

2018-08-29 10:54:27
Hi, I currently have my ear blocked with wax and can’t hear. I got given sodium bicarbonate drops and then got an ear infection, now using an anti biotic spray for that. I just want to be able to hear fully again and I’m going away in a week. Would a doctor flush my ears out while one ear is infected?
