Stuffed ear!

[anxietysucks11]

So since two days ago, my ear became stuffed. Like there's something inside it. I've done everything like clearing my sinuses, drinking sinus relievers all those. It feels stuffed and im scared it's an underlying medical condition?! Please help me !!!!

Could be just wax. I get that a lot. Can you hear okay?

Pop in the chemist and get some ear wax softener and see if that helps. Or drop a few drips of olive oil in your ear each day to soften the wax.

I agree with Bramwell. Sounds like you have wax in ear. Try the ear wax softener and if after a few days you don't feel better, have doctor check your ears.

Im from the US so I'm assuming "stuffed" means what we says "stopped up". the ear channel is very, very dependent on pressures. Just the slightest wrong sniff can cause it to be stopped up I'm no physician but I've never ever heard of a stuffed ear being indicative of anything else - maybe a little water in you ear from a shower, or ear wax or changes in yiur sinuses indication you might be getting a cold. Please don't 'fortune tell'. That is one of anxietys distortions that cause us to predict the outcome. my ha an always tell me to hear hooves and expect horses not unicorns. Your ear is stopped up so expecting the most obvious answer makes a lot more sense than all of thee tap gymnastics you have to go through to think it is something serious.
