Hi,

If you feel like your ear is blocked, you may have wax or eustachian tube dysfunction. You can buy ear wax kits (I recommend Mack's ProRinse Ear wax kit) that have gentle water syringes to see if wax will come out. If no wax comes out, it can be eustachian tube dysfunction, which is usually caused by allergies. So taking 2-3 allergy medications may help. Don't use Q-tips, as you may push was in deeper!

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Timothy Wong, General & Family Physician
