My ears are blocked
open your mouth wide to release the pressure to feel better. Will need to make sure that there is no inflammation in the ear. Patient needs to me monitored for Eustachian tube in the ear. Can start with primary care, but if does not get better will need to involve ENT physician.
Do you have other symptoms, such as pain in your ear, a recent upper respiratory infection, or allergies? Based on what preceded the symptom you are describing and a thorough exam, your doctor can determine what is going on. Most common cause can be an accumulation of ear wax in the external part of your ear or fluid retention behind your ear drum. If you suffer with allergies or have recently had an upper respiratory infection I would say the latter is a more likely cause.
The commonest cause of "blocked ears" is ear wax accumulation leading to impaction from improper use of Qtips. Called "impacted cerumen" this condition responds well to a wax softening treatment like Debrox or another ear wax remover and then irrigation and suction by an ENT or Family Practice doctor once the wax is soft.
After removal of the wax, Debrox can be used monthly and a hearing test should be performed to see if there is any hearing loss.
