What do i do if my right ear feels clogged up and sounds muffled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blocked ear: A common cause could be wax buildup. Getting water in the ear or a Qtip abrasion can cause an outer ear infection, so called swimmer's ear. This is very painful. If you have allergies, this can cause swelling of the eustachian tube and a blocked feeling. Additionally, fluid can build up in the middle ear. A middle ear infection is possible, but usually also quite painful. See ENT MD .
