What Is The Treatment For Ear Infection?
well this morning I was cleaning my ear with a qtip and a bottle on my counter feel I reached over to pick it up and hit the qtip in the process. I hurt a little but I could hear fine. I went to work and worked all day and then about at 4pm 7 hours into my day it started feel plugged up or like full of water feeling. I called a ear doctor and have an appointment for tomarrow at 2pm is there anything I can do now to releave the stuffed up feeling.

Hi.
It is possible that the ear got plugged up by the blood clot in the external ear canal; or the trauma on the tympanic membrane got the oozing of the fluid inside the ear drum as a reaction to the trauma.
You can take tablet Ibuprofen round the clock till you meet the ENT tomorrow.
Do not blow the nose or do not try to clean the ear on your own. Do not instill any ear drops.
