How Can Ear Congestion Be Treated?

I have a perforated eardrum and was operated on some years ago by a Dr Dan Vargas. My ear gets build-up of wax periodically and the Dr.Vargas has treated it in the past for this. I cannot locate him so he may be retired. My ear this week has been badly clogged and I have been putting in prescribed drops periodically,but now it is not helping and I am very concerned as I plan to be taking a flight soon so realize I need help asap....could you advise me please as it is a holiday weekend unfortunately.

Avoid cool'drinks and freeze water, use water vapor inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for five days.
Use chewing gums and yawing frequently. Use Xylometazoline nasal spray or tablet orally. Use antibiotics twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult another ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
