Have you tried lieing on it ? When i,ve had this happen to me it usually comes out (any water) in the night . Not nice but it will give your lug hole a good clean untill it comes out .

....or i,ve put a tissue in my ear aswell to draw out any fluid , like a wick effect , probably shouldn,t do it but it did work .

i will give it until tmrw morning anyway and see. was hoping i wud have it unblocked before bed i just hate goin to bed with something bothering me! its a nuisance to say the least. i will lie on it tonight tho!

We would make a lovely couple , you with your blocked ear and me with my mouth ulcer .

Have you also tried tilting your head to one side as far as it will go and putting a cotton bud very gently inside the ear , I know were NOT supposed to do this but this has also worked for me in the past, unfortuneately sometimes it just pops and the fluid comes out hours later . Also you could try gently blowing your nose .

I used to have blocked ears regulary before HA and foolishly used to dig in my ear with my locker key to clean them out (or so i thought) untill they started bleeding and ended up on anti biotecs for a few weeks . These days i tend to leave my ears well alone but i did used to enjoy a good dig , its a man thing

i will try the cotton bud now in a bit before bed, if it doesnt work ill resign my self to the fact that nothing is ill remain hopeful til the morning tho and then if still there i will seriously BLOW UP!!!! hahaha used to get mouth ulcers alot back in the summer!!! nasty nasty nasty things!!!! found i needed to take vit b and never got them since!
