My right ear will get clogged if i sleep with the ear against pillow..why?

Question

it keeps happening, i dont intentionally sleep on my right side, but it happens when i'm sleeping. Then i wake up with my ear clogged, feels like i lost my hearing or something like that. it gets better after a while, but i wonder why it happens,..is it something related to Ear wax?

Answer 1

Try one of the over the counter ear wax kits to see if that's it.

But i'm pretty sure that it's your sinuses. One of my ear is clogged all the time and it's annoying. You can drain the fluid out when you wake up by holding your head to the side until you feel it drain.

If you sniffle or blow your nose, does it clog up again? If so, hold that ear closed when you blow. it looks ridiculous, i know.

They have sinus medications, but I usually don't use any. They say sleeping with the air conditioner on helps, and I think a humidifier.
I could be the house you're living in is very old, or the air is just stale, or the pollen count.
