Clogged Ear
From last 3 days, it feels like wax has blocked my right ear and i am continuously having pain around the ear too. I am taking clear-wax drop and no improvement yet. Any tips? I took steam, kept warm cloth near my face but nothing till now. Or the only way is to see the ent specialist?

If wax has swollen in the ear you need to get it cleaned..if you try to clean it it may push it further into your ear canal
