Brief Answer:
If traditional ways haven't worked, then use drops or best leave it be

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. If your ears haven't popped by the simple traditional ways (e.g. swallowing your saliva, holding your breath and applying pressure really hard, etc.) then it is best to leave them alone.

You could be developing or already have developed an infection, or some underlying condition of the upper respiratory tract or any of the ENT parts. Instead you can use any preparations (e.g. waxsol, remuwax, soluwax, etc.) to help unclog the ears.

I woulds strongly recommend against the use of any devices (e.g. ear buds, keys, etc.) to be placed into the ear canal to unclog it, and let the condition just take its course. If it seems to be troubling you too much, then I would recommend visiting an ENT specialist. I am just a little worried and am trying to raise caution here because I get many patients into the ER who have tried to pop their clogged ears and have in turn damaged their ear drums.

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
