Ear blockage causing hearing issues
My ear is getting blocked, I won't be able to hear properly with that ear. That'll be resolved if I apply some pressure on the ear and release it. It's been happening for the last two weeks and I wasn't concerned as it was temporary. Today, I'm not able to get my ear to normal state whatever I do. I tried using dewax thinking it's due to accumulation of wax. Can someone tell me a proper cure for this?

You seem to be having impacted wax inside your ear canal. Putting drops such as dewax will soften the wax and does not dissolve it. Once you apply the drops you need to consult nearby ENT specialist so that he can remove the wax under vision
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
