Call your doctor first tomorrow morning! (9am) Tell the nurse what's going on. I think you may need a referral to a Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. (ENT)
Be assertive! Tell them you need this fixed today!!
Good luck, sweetie. I'm sure you've tried pounding the left side of your head while leaning your neck to the right, right?
You definitely need it flushed out. Go to an ENT, if you don't have the insurance where you need a referral.
Get well soon! :)

Sweet oil or olive oil may get you through the night to alleviate some of the pressure.
I did not know that peroxide burns the eardrum as I used to do this all the time as well. It always helped break up a lot of crap I had due to a cholesteatoma...but then again I had so much scar tissue on the eardrum maybe it did not matter.
Also some people say taking something like benadryl helps drain some of the tubes. I want to just add that be careful with this as one time I took one and so much stuff drained out of the canal it caused a lot of pressure to the eardrum and it actually ruptured.

You may need to call the doctor and ask him. You might want to try pouring a little procside in your ear and let it help you get out the built up wax out your ear. Its safe I do it all the time. I get where I can't hear every once in awhile. It helps me to hear better.

I once had wax build up so bad, it cut my hearing way down. After going to an ear doctor & having my ears cleaned, it was much better. Have you tried cleaning your ears with periode or having your ears checked ?
I try to rotata as well to try to get the clear from both ears.
