Suggest Treatment For Feeling Of Clogging Sensation In The Ear
Question: i m feeling a sense of cloggedness in my ear and a sensation of some sticky liquid
Brief Answer:
could be due to excess ear wax
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I have read your query,
Feeling of ear clogging with some sticky fluid could be due to excess ear wax deposition inside ear canal especially if there is no pain in ear. Here,i would think about this possibility first but the clinical inspection of ear canal will confirm it and the possibility of some infection (bacterial or fungal) should also be ruled out.
You may use ear wax remover drop (like Soliwax or Waxsol Ear drops) once daily in both ear.
Put cotton inside ear after the application of wax remover drops.
With 3 or 4 applications of these,you will feel some improvement.
But I will be in favor of one time consultation of ENT specialist for clinical inspection of ear to rule out bacterial or fungal infection.

follow your doctor's instructions.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome again,
Since clogging feeling is likely because of excess ear wax deposition and antibiotic ear drops can be used as prophylactic measures.
If you are feeling pain or irritation in ear following application,then it can be discontinued. However,there is no way that I can inspect your ear,so I can not confirm about the infection.
You should follow your doctor's instructions who has seen you. But as I said earlier,you can ask him to use wax remover drops as they do not have any side effects.
