    sorry bro, if it's been less than two days, give it a little time and see how the body helps loosten it. if it's been that already, see your doctor, they might be able to more safely deal with it or he/she might recommend you to an ear nose throat specialist.

    Go to the doctor, I've had my ears flushed out before and it really helped. It's quick and painless, so you don't have to worry.

    Drink lots of water. This helps me when my ears get plugged up.

    I had problems years ago, doctor told me to never use q-tips for deep ear cleaning, just barely inside and around the opening. Haven't had many problems since. Though when I do I always put in peroxide and let it set for a few minutes. Turn over (with a towel) and it all comes running out. Hope this helps for the next time!
