You seem to be suffering from impacted wax inside your ear canal. You may have pushed wax deep into the canal causing more blocking sensation. It needs to be removed under vision by a specialist
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
