See a Dr.: Without knowing exactly what you are treating it would not be a good idea to use Augmentin as it is a very strong medication that can cause significant side effects. If the ear feels blocked, try a decongestant. If that does not clear it, have a doctor look in the ear canal to see if there is a piece of cotton left from the ear buds or a clump of ear wax that has been pushed in against the eardrum
