A member asked:
It feel like something is stuck in my right ear i put some olive oil in it but that didn't help should i go see a doctor?

Yes: A foreign body in your ear canal could cause this sensation. Please also avoid using q-tips as it could further push something deeper into your ear canal. Going to see your doctor is a good idea.
