Left ear is blocked since yesterday
My left ear is blocked from past one day and it has become really irritating now.. I hear a ringing sound continuously from that ear. I was trying to remove ear wax yesterday.. I am not sure if that could be the problem.. And also now I have been attending many online meeting so I have been using earphones as well for long time during the day.. I am sceptical to go to a doctor during this covid 19 situation.. Kindly suggest what can I do so that my ear opens up.. I am able to hear from that ear but there is a continuous ringing sound, not too loud but yes I can hear it.. This has become really irritating and I think it has started paining as well now.. It is very uncomfortable..

Seems like u have impacted ear wax leading to some hearing loss & ringing sound in ur ear as well. Do not try to remove the wax with ear buds. Use DEWAX ear drops 5times/day. Avoid using IN THE EAR earphones( better use a bluetooth speaker for calls) Take steam inhalation also
Adviced to take online consultation for further evaluation
