My right ear is blocked since yesterday since I washed my hair. I can still hear, but less well. What can I do?

Hello Ma'am,
Did the night unclog the ear?

Hello, no it is still clogged. It itches a lot too but I have no pain. I have tried several techniques to unclog it but no luck.

Ok!
In such a case, we will take 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of white vinegar that we will dilute in 1 cup (250 mL) of water. We will take a dropper and put 3 drops in the blocked ear. We wait 5 minutes and repeat.
In the minutes that will follow the second addition of drops, we will try to tilt the head on the opposite side and shaking the head a little.
The vinegar acts as an antiseptic in this case, reducing the risk of infection, and may make the water drops in your ear easier to drain.
Come back to me with the result at the end of the day :)

It still doesn't work! :( I can still feel it clogged....

Trying the same technique again today in this case. No need to consult for this yet (as long as it doesn't cause pain).

Okay! Are there any over-the-counter drops I can put in my ear that would help reduce the itching?

Yes, you can put something on, but not drops.
You can put on two to three drops of mineral oil or olive oil 2 to 3 times a day. This should reduce the itching, see successfully extract the water from the ear.
