Hmm, i've heard white vinegar helps for clogged ears but have never tried it so I'd be wary.

I remember I had swimmers ear once and I held my nose and blew and it felt so good straight away. I've heard that this ain't too good if you blow too hard too.

What about going to the chemist? They might have some over the counter stuff you could use.

Or...see that doctor of yours...it would be the best option.

I'm with Dramaqueen. I mean, why CAN'T you see the doctor?

I did see a doctor. It's not earwax and i guess it's not water either. He said it was pressure due to congestion. It switched to the other ear and now it's been both for two days. This has been going on now for like 3 weeks, it's ridiculous...it's driving me insane...can anyone help?

If there's nothing wrong with the ears then sometimes these symptoms are caused by the tmj muscles being tight and preventing the eustachian tube from opening normally. You would need to find a massage therapist who knows how to release the pterygoid muscles and get several treatments.
