I have a blocked ear and can hardly hear. Should I go see a doctor or is it just earwax buildup?

It is recommended to consult a doctor if you are experiencing a blocked ear that does not clear up on its own, especially if you are also experiencing pain or fever. In some cases, using ear drops may help soften the wax and allow it to naturally come out. If the blockage persists or worsens, seeking medical attention for ear irrigation may be necessary.
