Left ear blocked/clogged
My left ear feels clogged/blocked for the last 3 weeks. Consulted doctors. Provisional diagnosis by the doctor was either Acute Obis Media(AOM) or ear wax. I have no cold/flu symptoms. Medicines for AOM did not work. The condition however remained the same. I have no pain in the ear. Just a blocked feeling. Right now with consultation with another doctor I have started taking ear drops (Soliwax). At times my nose starts to feel blocked as well after taking the drop.
There has been no positive signs. The ear feels full now after taking the drop. My questions are:
Is it normal for the ear to have the fullness feeling after using the drop?
How long does it take generally for the ear drop to work?
If it doesn't work after taking the drops what further steps can I take?
