Going to the store tomorrow, going to buy the kit that has the plunger in it and see about flushing my ear out. If this doesn’t work the next stop is the urgent care. I tried to use more hydrogen peroxide today and that just made things worse. The weird thing is if I pull the skin near my ear tight or like swish around my ear with my hand I hear it pop and like kind of open up. I even tried doing the trick of closing my nose with my hand and blowing on my ear drums and it almost feels like it wants to pop. But I realize that way is dangerous and I could pop my ear drum.

    Sorry for the late reply (and for giving anonymous medical advice over the internet) but have you tried using some oil to soften up any wax? I have relatives that are very prone to severe wax buildup and it’s been fairly effective for them as both an acute treatment and as a preventative one. In any case, I hope you figure it out and get better soon!
