try laying on your left side and placing a few drops of warm baby oil in your ear. wait about 10 min. and lay on your right side. gently pull on the top of the ear, then the bottom. repeat.
good luck

Tilt your head and drop a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide into the ear with a q-tip. Wait for about 5 min. and then tilt your head the other way and let the fluid drain out. This will open your ear up if it is from earwax. Otherwise it could be a blockage in your eustasian tube. I have this problem all the time. It is very uncomfortable. Try a decongestant. Mucinex works the best. Hope this helps.

if you have ear wax build up and your fairly sure of that then you can buy some baby oil and put a few drops in your ear each day or a few times a day .
a person any person can look in your ear and have a pretty good idea if you have a wax build up.
dont let the person stick things in there and dont do that yourself nothing smaller then your elbow should go in your ear.
there is a product that you may buy at a pharmacy that is for ear wax removal and is for flushing your ear. i do not recomend that you buy that . only a doctor should flush an ear as the ear is so easily damaged and blasting water in there is dangerous.
just go with the oil it can be olive oil or baby oil.
to do this its best to have a helper but if you dont have someone to put some drops in then just do it without your shirt on say in the bathroom so the oil does not get on the carpet or whatever.
if the pain is great a blow dryer for hair may be used just turn it on warm and hold it up to your ear not to hot and not to close but you will figure this out and its also great for treatment of pain due to fluid build up in the inner ear.

I'm a nurse. You could be right. This is so common, I see it all the time. There are OTC ear wax removal kits, they work great. You could also see the doctor for an ear wash. It's painless, you'll feel warm water going in your ear until the wax is removed. OTC ear drops works OK too. I hope this helps you.

Try removing the earwax. Some cats like to eat it.

First you should go see your doctor to se what he/ she will say about this, next get one teaspoon of white vinagar and one of rubbing alchol its basicly for swimmers ear but it also works for your problem.

clean it out with soap on a cue tip. If that doesn't work then go to a doctor. If it's not wax then you may be going deaf. Deafness can be caused by other illnesses. You may not have any, but it may be something simple.

If you go to the doctor, they'll syringe it out. But maybe your right ear drum broke. It happend to my father.
