Ear block due to ear wax
I have been facing a ear block and itching for a few days now. I have been using just my finger to scratch. I see a lot of wax come out when I do this. Absolutely no pain or any other discomfort. Should I consult an ENT specialist or is it enough if I use a ear drop? I'm looking for immediate relief.
