Go see a dr.  You may have some "debris" in the mastoid cavity (just in front of your eardrum).  A doctor can either "flush" it our or may suction it out.  Neither one of these things hurt, just may make you dizzy for a few moments.  More than likely that will clear you right up.

Yeah definitely see a doctor in case there is an infection.  If there is wax blocking it it may soften with some warm olive oil...obviously make sure its not too hot!  And you will probably have to get someone to help you put it into ur ear!\n\nHope ur feeling better soon!

Ok try and see if you could pop it. Try and disnfecting it and put warm water on  it . try this but if it dosnt work you really need to go to the doctors.

Find out why you are having it. Demend testing not just medicine to treat the symtoms. My doctor gave me an ENG and a tilt table test. There are also other medicines like transdermal scopolamine that works well, its a patch for the back of the ear and it stays on for 3 days. Also the meclizine works too. If its a problem in your inner ear there are surgical options to fix the problem if it gets so bad that you can't function. If you aren't satisfied with the treatment that you are getting from your doctor then see another doctor because you need to find out what is causing the problem.\n\nGood luck!

Get a second opinion. Go to and E.N.T.(ear, nose, Throat) specialist. Your throat, ears and nose are all connected. If your ears are feeling clogged, it could be caused by the swollen tonsils. You may not necessarily have an EAR infection, but it sounds like the Eustachian tube in your ears are clogged. Try gargling with very warm salt water about twice a day. But definitely see the Doc. Are you on Antibiotics? If so this may clear the problem with your ears. You should consider a Tonsillectomy, my son has never had any more problems with his ears since he had his tonsils out. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.

Go back to the doctor, and they can readjust them for you. They are not supposed to hurt your ears. Good luck.

try a few drops of hydrogen peroxide for about 10 minutes with your head tilted in each ear.  wait until the popping and fizzing stops.  do this every hour for about 8 hours and if this doesn't work, go see a doc.

Elevate your head on a couple of pillows at night.  Get a humidifier in your bedroom, and during the day, drink water.  No dairy products.  No milk, cheese, yogurt, or ice cream.  Your eustatian tube in your ear gets full of mucous when you lie down flat.  Call your doctor anyway, and tell him how long you have taken the medicine he prescribed,(doctor's have a lot of patients, and they can't remember all the details when you call them), and ask him for advice.  He may want to see you to check your ears, or prescribe a stronger medication.  Be sure you are taking all of your medicine exactly as the doctor prescribed it to be taken.

My son had this and it was from damage in his ear canal.  He is one who when he sneezes blocks his nose, the pressure of a cold and doing that made a "split" his ear canal.  When the blood and fluid trickled INTO his ear he decided to scratch it with an unknown object and made it worse.  Talk about ick. \nHe didnt even know there was a problem where usually this would send one into excruciating pain.  Odd.  \nThe MD gave him ear drops and a antibiotic, took about a week to hear normally again and is fine now.  If she is is major pain it could also be a ruptured ear drum. I hope not but, Good Luck.

Whatever you do, don't dig around inside your ear or syringe the canal yourself.  Speak to your primary care provider and request another referral to another ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat specialist -- same as an Otolaryngologist).  I know you've seen one already but try it again.  The pain you feel is real.  Be prepared to describe the fluid.  Taking with you a specimen, as was suggested, is a good idea.  If you are again told that there's nothing wrong with your ear, be glad for that and make an appointment with your dentist to rule out dental involvement.

I have the same issue.  When it flares up, I take a non-drowsy, 12 hour decongestant (alavert is good) and that usually takes care of the problem. \nDo you have vertigo? My doctor says that sometimes accompanies this ear-popping/blocked issue. \n\nGood luck, try the decongestant, don't take more than you need.

It could be an ear infection or a toothache.  I know it sounds odd, but I had similar pain and it was because I needed a filling!

Go to the Dr and have your ear flushed out.  You will be surprised at the gunk that will come out.  Or, you can buy a product at the pharmacy.  It certainly is annoying.  Whatever you do, don't stick anything in your ear, as once it is blocked like that, it is pretty difficult to unblock it.
