Plugged ears: Check your ears with your pcp dr. If you have too much wax in your ears you may try to soften it by applying baby oil or glycerine oil or debrox or Cerumenex inside the ears for 4 consecutive nights before someone tries to flush it out or aspirated. Other possibilities are mucus in the eustachian tubes caused by cold, flu, viruses or infection.
