What to do when your ear is clogged with gunk?

If your ear is clogged with gunk, avoid using cotton swabs as they can push debris further in. Instead, try softening the blockage by applying a few drops of warm olive oil or hydrogen peroxide in the ear. After a day, you can gently flush the ear with warm water in the shower. If the blockage persists or if you experience pain, hearing loss, or discharge, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
