A member asked:
My ears constantly feel clogged or inflamed. is there a way to perhaps get rid of this problem, maybe by somehow cleaning them out? and if so, how?

See your physician: Some people make increased cerumen which is the wax-like secretion of the glands of the ear canal. This gets inflammed and sometimes infected. It is best to be examined and the cerumen extracted and they a topical program suggested. Do not try to use q-tips as they increase the problem.
