How To Cure Ear Blockage?
Hello Doctor, I have wax in my ear & I used ear buds to clean. Seems to have got worse, it feels jammed my (right) ear hurts. I used Soliwax last night - it helped reduce pain but I woke up this morning with my ear still blocked & paining. I have used soliwax now again. Pl advise what I should do. Thks

hi and thanks for the query,
2 possibilities.
1) impacted wax leading to pain.
2) injury to the ear canal with buds leading to pain.
take a pain killer like tylenol or ibuprofen.
you have to meet an ENT specialist to know the cause for earache and to clear the wax.
do not try to clean wax with buds.
buds are not meant for cleaning inside the ear and frequently lead wax impaction.
regards,
Dr Rajksihori.
