Hello Doctor,
I'm experiencing discomfort in my ear for over a week now, and it feels like it's clogged up. I found an ear wax tool I haven't used in months and decided to take a look inside. I'm unsure if what I see is my eardrum or if something is lodged in there. Could you help me figure it out?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Discomfort and Clogged Sensation:
1. Experiencing discomfort and a feeling of clogged ears for over a week suggests that there may be an underlying issue that needs attention.
2. It's essential to address this discomfort promptly to prevent potential complications and to ensure your ear health.
Use of Ear Wax Tool:
1. While using an ear wax tool to examine your ear may seem like a good idea, it's crucial to proceed with caution.
2. Without proper knowledge and training, attempting to remove any obstruction yourself could potentially cause harm or worsen the situation.
Thanks
