Blocked ear
Hi there. I was cleaning my ear with a cotton bud last night and I pushed wax further into my right ear. I could feel a blockage all day today so I used olive oil drops to soften the wax. I feel this had made the situation more worse. My ear is totally blocked now. My GP surgery is closed until tomorrow morning. what should I do?

You might have impacted wax.. which swelled up after putting olive oil.. don't try to remove by yourself.. visit an ENT specialist for wax removal..and treatment if required..
