Bloody left ear is blocked, was in epic pain most of the night with it, and could hear little air pockets popping, weeped overnight and had dry wax on the outer ear and lobe this morning, just had another shower and put my ear to the shower head, feels very tacky now, still blocked though, anyone got any good home remedies that work to fix this? Wanting to avoid buying Otex if I can.

Hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and lie on it with the effected ear.

Don't try to run water into it.

Decongestant tablets should help. Sinutab or something similar.

The hot water bottle suggestion is also good.

Why not go to you're nearest clinic and get them to take a look and maybe they can use the water pick to get rid of it?

Reapply. It can help get wax moving.

Wax works out of your ear in a corkscrew manner. This us why using cotton buds and any other means (including water unless under medical supervision) is not good. You can push the wax back in so the natural way it pushes it out only impacts it further in.

Warm oil can help as it loosens it but it can also introduce possible infection - if you've already got the beginnings that's not going to help!

The heat of a hot water bottle can soften wax helping it to flow and can also affect the pressure in the ear canal helping to draw it out. The towel is not just to make the heat more bearable to skin but it can (fingers crossed) help if any gunk comes out (medical term there)

I would go with this. Works 90% of the time when I have had ear problems, don't forget to block your ear with some cotton wool.

Good luck and hope you feel better soon

Keep chucking the olive oil in for about a week, then book an appointment to get it syringed. I have to have mine done about every 2 yrs, it feels quite tickley, but the nurse who does it is quite fit

Probably have a spider laying it's eggs in there, dangle a fly outside of ear - it might run out

Alternatively

Go to the f ing doctors !!!!

If it's painful and weeping it may be infected - go see a medic or at least a pharmacist.

You need to see a gp live, ears are prone to getting infections, and it may feel like you have little pockets of fluid popping around- you may need antibiotics love x

I've booked an appointment, they got cleaned out by the nurse about 7 years ago, but I think they've stopped doing that procedure now. Pain has stopped and it's a little more clear, just feels wierd now.

If you Google ear candling, it either comes back as dangerous or a total waste of time and money...

Medically there is no evidence that it works...

For the same effect, you could light a small fire in your garden using albatross feathers and sprinkle dried rhino horn on it whilst dancing backwards dressed as a penguin...

Straighten out a coat hanger, super glue a blob of cotton wool on the end , boil up some detail , try and push as far into the ear as possible and wiggle.

They've prevented me needing antibiotics for 4 years whereas I'd needed them the previous 20 winters for sinusitis

Pretty sure they advise against shoving anything thinner than your elbow down your ear, but will double check.

You'll end up perforating your eardrum and that takes months to heal

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum


"Why not go to you're nearest clinic and get them to take a look and maybe they can use the water pick to get rid of it? "

No point. they'll just say 'put warm olive oil in it and come back in two weeks'.

I had a blocked ear last week. The olive oil worked a treat.

Do what you feel is right for you.

However medically they are not recommended...
