Hi all,
My right ear is completely blocked with was and has been since last Sunday. I went to the doctors on Thursday and saw a nurse practitioner after using olive oil drops for 4 days and there not being any improvement. The nurse checked both ears and said they were both blocked with wax although I was not aware that the left one was as I could still here. I was advised to just continue with the drops and no antibiotics given for possible infection as I am 6 months pregnant.
Instead of my ear getting better it's got worse. My left ear is now also so blocked that I can't hear anything out of it. I can't follow a conversation or hear what is being said to me at all which has made me very tearful and stressed out. I plan on going to work tomorrow as I don't feel unwell but have no idea how I am supposed to do my job as it requires a lot of verbally communicating with clients.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice they could offer, or any suggestions regarding how I could unblock my ears, so I can at least hear a little bit tomorrow?
