i woke up this morning and all of a sudden i noticed that my left ear is muffled like i got on a plane. i tried swollowing and yawning but does not work at all.
i feel like somebody put a block between my ear and ear drum.
what can be causing this? how can i make it go away?
i'm very nervous.
thanks.

It is possible that you have an external ear infection. That's what had a couple of months ago. It could also be the result of swimmers ear. I went to my local pharmacy an got ear wax removal and my ear cleared up in about a week. If you are really concerned... go see a doctor.

If you are not experiencing any pain, my first guess would be ear wax. You could have someone use a flashlight and look in there, but they may not be able to see anything.. Try getting an ear wax removal kit (not expensive). Follow the directions and see if it helps.

It might just be water in your ear, but see a specialist if it doesn't clear up within a day.
