Hi,
Noted your history about a 29 year old female, poked ear with glasses, lots of pain, feeling blockage,
The problem with self cleaning is with the things one puts in ear, it removes only a part of wax but pushes in the most of it towards
eardrum causing the feeling of blockage due to
impaction in
ear canal or near eardrum.
Another issue is with the trauma that is caused while removing wax or so. This gives oedema of skin that gets entrapped in between the bone outside and the wax inside causing unbearable pain.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Consult your Doctor for preliminary examination and get started on proper antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines.
Wax dissolving ear drops.
If required get an appointment for an ENT Surgeon for further evaluation, removal of wax and as required.
Do not try anything at home now.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
