Your doctor is right. However, if you feel that ear has blocked again, meet him again and get yourself examined again. Sometimes your eustachian tubes may get blocked giving rise to identical symptoms, but totally different treatment. So, either way, your doctor knows best! Trust him to do the needful.

If you are sure that there is collection of wax then use Otorex ear drops to soften the wax then consult nearby ENT specialist so that he can remove the wax easily by suctioning or syringing.
