Clogged ear
I was cleaning ear wax using a Q-tip when my ear got clogged suddenly. I'm unable to hear properly and have a mild pain as well. I have already used lukewarm mustard oil and 'soliwax' once but it hasn't opened yet.

Health Tips
Donot use QTips for ear cleaning as you will be pushing the wax stool deep inside and can also injure your ear drum.
