Blocked ears during and after nasal hygiene, what should I do?

If you are experiencing blocked ears during and after nasal hygiene, it may be due to excessive build-up of wax from using earplugs at night. To help alleviate this issue, try reducing the amount of nasal rinse solution you use and applying less pressure when rinsing to reduce the risk of pushing the saline solution too far into your sinuses. This may help prevent the ear blockage you are experiencing. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.
