Ear infection: The ear canal may be stuffed with wax for which you can use a mucolytic available over the counter.Likewise the garlic may be clogging the ear.

I've been taking clindamycin for an ear infection for 4 days now. My hearing is still super muffled!! When will my hearing go back to normal?....

My ears get blocked as soon as any water enters the canal whenever I shower and that tends to block my hearing. It causes infection as the fluid does not drain, what would I need to do in this instance?
