“Ear”
Hi, a few days ago I woke up with my left ear muffled. It felt like it was clogged so I went to go clean out both my ears with q tips. It did help but not really. When I woke up it was like maybe 50 or 60 percentage I can hear and as the day went on it did go up to like 85 or 90. It’s like I can’t hear the clarity in my ear and it feels clogged. I keep waking up like that and it goes better through out the day then start again in the morning. I am not sure if it is related but for the last maybe six months when I lay down one side of my nose is clogged and it will switch back and forth through the night. Could this just be ear wax and should I wait and see?

It could be ear wax. It could also be middle ear fluid or infection, which can come from nasal/sinus problems. I would recommend being seen for evaluation.
