Default Stopped up ear

The past couple mornings I've had my ear get stopped up. I don't think its due to sinuses because I have no other sinus symptoms. I'm thinking its due to ear wax build up. When I was young, I had ear wax all the time too. I have a 1st class medical scheduled today too. Think I could still get one. At least I could have him clean my ear out. I did put some Carbamide peroxide in my ear last night and it seemed to help alot. Any advice?

Say what??????????

If this is a recurrent problem, buy some Debrox and put one drop in your ear every week to keep the wax down.

Hey, Im not an AME but I had this problem last year for almost 4 months. I was getting really worried and almost visited an ear doctor about it. It finally went away and I correlated it to allergy season + a cold. I'm not sure if thats the case with you but I just wanted to tell you your not alone on that one.
