I have a blocked ear. i tried to remove wax with an ear bud now it is blocked and i am struggling to hear. what medication do you suggest i take?

Don't use ear buds: You can try an OTC ear wax removal solution like Debrox to see if it will help. Do not place anything like Q-tips or or any other objects in the ear as many times, you can actually make it worse or actually injure the ear drum in you ear. If that doesn't help, you should definitely consult with your doctor. Take care!
