Ear clogged
I would say about 3 weeks ago, I went into the shower to wash my hair and water got into my right ear and ever since then it has been clogged. It's improved but at night when I sleep on the ear it gets extremely clogged and its a nuisance. I was wondering what I should do. I was researching online and I do see that there are ear wax removal kits available such as Debrox. Should I purchase one of these and try to resolve it on my own or should I go to a doctor at this point?
