Hi team, I’ve had a blocked ear for two weeks. I dove down in a swimming pool to about 4m and felt my ears pop a few weeks earlier. I’ve seen the doctor who prescribed ear drops to clean up the infection but it’s still blocked 10 days later. Any ideas where to go from here?

I'm not sure if you have urgent cares or walk in clinics in NZ, but I would go in and have them flush your ear or check you haven't damaged your eardrum.
Assuming the infection has cleared, the ceruman needs irrigated out or otherwise manually removed . You can try this at home by using a syringe with warm water. You should be able to buy a kit in the pharmacy. Better and safer would be to see a doc who could visualize the blockage and after removing it the tympanic membrane so you can be sure there are no other problems. Best, etheral
