Left ear blockage

2020-09-02 06:24:23
I am pregnant and my left ear is blocked since last 3 days. I have been taking Soliwax ear drops (3 drops) thrice a day as prescribed by doctor. However, the blockage still remains accompanied by mild intermittent pain. Given the current situation, i do not want to visit the clinic. Is there any suggestion that i can do at home?

If you are sure it's wax,  then some one from your house members can try cleaning it  gently,  without causing damage to skin and tympnaic membrane. Best is to visit EnT doctor for wax removal
