Earwax removal isn't working!?
After flying home from China, my left ear has occasionally gotten stuffed up (the right stays normal) and I had to pop it by doing the swallowing trick. A few days ago when it was stuffed up, I tried pinching my nose and blowing out but that was a horrible idea, it built up more pressure and I couldn't release the pressure. It hurt really bad and I got dizzy and light headed. Luckily, it finally released slowly and returned to normal.
However, yesterday my left ear got stuffed up again and it's hard to hear out of it. I can't pop it by swallowing and I'm too scared to try pinching my nose again because of how painful it was last time, I'm also scared it won't release and I'll damage my ear. It doesn't hurt right now but occassionally I get a little dizzy spell for 1-2 seconds.
I bought Debrox Earwax removal kit to try and get the wax blockage out but I have done it twice now over 8 hours and it has made no difference. I also tried using warm water + salt to try and fix it but nothing is working so far. It's super annoying and I don't want it to get worse. It feels like I constant pressure in my head.
