I have to wait 5 days to get to the hospital. if i took debrox for 4 days and i still have wax in my ears, will i start to lose hearing or something?

After clearing my ears with Debrox, my ears are still feeling partially clogged. I visited my physician and ENT and they said it was not wax nor fluid, and my eardrums looked fine. Its not TMJ, either. Clogged feeling is getting worse. What is it?
