Clogged up Ear?!?!?

So during the weekend I went swimming on both days.Only for an hour or two.But as I was swimming the first day,my ear all of a sudden got clogged up.When I went home,I raced to the bathroom and got out some cotton swabs and picked at my ear until there wasn't any earwax at all. I still couldn't hear.My ear is NOT infected though.It's happened for three days now.This has not ever happened to me before.How do I unclog it?I have this medicine(doctor recommended) for melting earwax without doing any harm to my ear.Would using that help?Please help me now!

Clogged up Ear?!?!?
Could be just a pressure build-up.





Happened to me last week....annoyed the crap out of me.





What you do is you plug your nose and try to exhale thru your nose....SLOWLY....key word slowly....too much pressure hurts! This builds up pressure, and if it's pressure then your ears will pop and thats the end of that.





If they don't, see a doctor.





EDIT: Before the doctor though, try Hydrogen Peroxide, your ears just might have to much wax in 'em (WARNING: this is the stingy stuff your parents use on open wounds to clean the area....if you have any scratches in your ear....brace yourself lol)
Reply:Put a heating pad on your pillow, low heat, and put a few drops of saline in the affected ear. Lie on the heating pad until you hear a 'pop'. If you have build-up, this should help it come out. Good luck!
Reply:peroxide for a min then out and in with alcohol. Leave that in a minute and drain. then dry with a hair dryer and then hold your nose and blow out. this will make your ears pop.
Reply:i heard that if you put some drops of boiled water in it itll get unclogged





im not sure though i heard
