Don't cut it off!: I hope when you say get rid of it, you're talking about the pain and not the ear!. All kidding aside, you need to find out where in the ear the pain and "clogging" are occuring. If it's outer ear, then your ear canal needs cleaning. Middle ear problems may respond to "ear popping", chewing gum and if an infection is present, possible antibiotics.
