my ear is still plugged for the third day, any suggestions?

Question:

i got kicked in the ear under water and thew ear wax and water got far down. I used hydrogyn peroxide and it cleared a path and the remaining wax and water was down further. i woke up this morning and some of it drained and hardened to my ear. I just want somebody to give me a suggestion to maybe help ot. If I do go to the doctor what will they do and will it hurt?

Answers:
you might have perferated your eardrum (torn it) if you go to the doctor he/she will probably put you on ear drops for 10 days and you'll be fine

Other Answers:
Stop asking us what you should do and go to the doctor. The longer you wait the worse it's going to get.

Good grief, Brandon....how many times can you ask this question on here and be told to go to the doctor?

So go to the doctor already. We aren't doctors, but you do need to see one.

try an ear candle

My aunt couldn't hear out of her right ear this past weekend, so she went to the emergency room and had her ear cleaned out. They put some drops in, waited 10 minutes, then squirted warm water in and loosened up all the wax. She said it didn't hurt at all.

It is a simple operation with a little vaccum hose nothing to be scared about. it takes like 5 to 10 mins.

Well, they sell medicine in the drug store that will help dissolve the ear wax. You could also try a medicine for swimmers ear.
Some people say that a little warm olive oil placed in the ear would help. If all else fells, go to the doctor. It could get infected.

i'm not a certified doctor however, if your ear was plugged, because of gravity and such (for example, a plane landing) then i suggest closing your mouth, pinch your nose, and blow out. but your case is whoa.. yes you should definitely see a doctor and at least have a check-up because anything you do yourself under no medical help might just get worse. go to the nearest medical centre a.s.a.p. before anything else happens. good luck.

Go to a health food store and get a ear candle I work in a bodycare facility and we do ear candling all the time. It's a cone shaped candle, you put the small end in your ear and light the other end. You let it burn down to the red line then take it out. The candle sucks the junk up into the center of the cone. You'll feel much better, but DON"T DO IT YOURSELF you need someone to help you. It'll come with instructions. Hope you feel better

If anything , it tickles when they irrigate it, but i would be concerned about getting kicked in the ear, and what that might have done.
I would have it checked out,
Sometimes if you put your fingers in the middle of nose,pinch it and breathe out, sometime that will open the ears.

you know what ur eye will fall off if u don't go to the doctor right this very minute little mister!

I think you should go to a doctor, or nurse clinic, as soon as you can. Water stuck behind wax can be problematic, causing inflammation and infection maybe.
I get this done fairly often, because I have irregularly shaped canals and gunk gets trapped. It's just an "irrigation"and can be a little uncomfortable (you feel it bubbling behind your eyes, it seems! Can be a 'whole-sinus' experience, but when it clears the plugging you feel so much better you don't mind the weirdness...it's sorta like a good shot of wasabi...a not unpleasant kinda pain) but really someone should look via an otoscope and clear you all out to prevent any real unpleasantness.
They sit you with a towel and they basically do in a stronger way what you did with peroxide, possibly using long instruments to extract anything that won't irrigate out.
The only other thing you might want to try at home is a product called "Debrox" or "Murine ear drops", which is an ear wax softening drop that might loosen any hardened wax and allow you to irrigate it out with warm water. Be sure to follow the directions on the box...if you don't already have an ear syringe, they sometimes sell one packaged with these ear-wax softening products, typically in the same aisle as eyecare products at your pharmacy or bigbox store.
good luck!
