My son has the same problem after cleaning. Ever since he was little he has had trouble with ear wax build up and I would have to put ear drops in his ears to loosen the wax. The problem I have found, is that he has so much build up, that the drops loosens it up and blocks the canal more so than before to the point he cannot hear for several days. You may just have a lot of build up that needs to be washed out by a doctor, the ear wax drops may not help much. The above poster is correct, but wanted to add, sometimes it can be fluid build-up in the ears. When I wash my hair I always put the blow dryer on low and let it go into my ears. Also the blow dryer (on warm) and on low, is a good way to loosen up wax that may be further down the ear canal. It's dangerous to try and clean out your own ears so the above poster is correct in saying that you should see your doctor to have your ears cleaned out (doesn't hurt.) For the lady above, my one young nephew had a problem with his ears and his parents thought he was just ignoring them until his grandmother let a book drop behind him and he couldn't hear it! She then told the parents to take their son into a specialist. The specialist ended up putting plastic tubes in my nephew's ears (twice) and the problem was rectified.

Yes it is because when I had a fever last night I felt very hot all over my body and I felt chilly. Thankfully my ears where not full of earwax or other germs.

What can be done about a clogged ear that's been clogged off and on for 2 months since a sinus cold and you still can't hear correctly out of it?

There is not much you can do about it. I recently had a cold that clogged my right ear and still clogged after a week. I went to see an ENT and the only thing he recommend ed me was the use of steroids otherwise it will go away by itself but it can take up to 3 months. the steroids only will clear up the ears in 6 weeks but they have so many side effects that is not worth the risk. **Steroids are for reducing swelling or inflammation of tissue** There is a solution you can try at home with out going to the Dr to reduce swollen sinus tissue deep in the inner ear canal and eustachian tube which causes this problem. The swelling keeps sinus mucus or infection pus clogged in the inner ear and can reduce hearing, cause pain, or just be very annoying. I invented it, and it DOES WORK.
