When I was a young lad I had ear wax problems. A nurse took a huge syringe (no needle) with warm water. She pushed it in as fast as she could. after 3 or 4 syringes a big chunk of wax came out. Been using the same technique at home when needed ever since.

Go to your doctor or better yet a local ENT doctor. They'll get right in there and get it all out.

Not sure about your situation but that happened to me just before I lost hearing in my left ear. Dr said it was a virus.
FYI that was before covid

I don't know why but I watch those videos on you tube sometimes if I have time to play on my phone. The amount of crap that comes out is unbelievable. I also watch Dr. pimple popper too. You probably should go to the clinic and get it taken care of, then post the results here. laugh

Need to figure out if its wax or it just can't drain and its got pressure.

Does it hurt?

I have always had issues with sinusitis and my eustachian tubes get plugged every time I even hear about someone getting sick. Flonase (or the generic equivalent) really helped me. Seems to help keep me opened right up.

Last winter it got so bad one of my eardrums ruptured. Blood and puss coming out of your ear is not fun. Pain definitely got my attention.

Thanks Rusty Axe Camp. I've got the fear thrown into me now. I'm going to the nearest ENT doctor this morning.

Have same problem, every year or two fight it badly, usually find it when I go swimming and can't hear well after that for a month or so. When in to get it cleaned out last time I had a Nurse tell me after its cleared just once a week when showering tilt your head and let the water run it. Takes a bit to get the angle right but it makes a world of difference to keep it from coming back.
