My ear has been clogged up for 5 days now, I have the antibiodic drops for my ears, today is day 4 of using them. Still it is clogged up and I cannot hear much. I have tried hot steamy showers to loosen the wax (if it's wax) I have done hot compressions, nothing. I sleep on the clogged ear hoping for drainage, nothing. I recently had a cold and do not know if it is related to that, however, I just want some suggestions from professionals on what to do next. I am trying to avoid a doctor bill. Thanks!
