muddy, I know my PCP can wash the wax out pretty easily. I'm not sure if they might do the same at an urgent care. You can always call and ask. It's a lot easier; just saying because H does it at home, and it takes him ages and still doesn't completely help. The doc on the other hand did it very quickly. It's a weird feeling but works. I hope what you get helps, otherwise if you can find a doc or nurse practioner to do it, it is much more efficient.

If it feels blocked from the inside, it could also be sinus pressure? I had that recently, and Mucinex D (well the generic) cleared that up. Of course, you have to get that at the pharmacy counter. Just something to consider if all else fails, could be from sinuses.
