I think I may have poked my eardrum with a Q-tip yesterday night. If anything else, I probably pushed earwax deeper into my ear as I was cleaning it, beause my ears were really dirty. Today, I put warm olive oil in my ear (twice), tried flushing out my ear with warm water via a plastic syringe, went swimming, and showered, but nothing seemed to work. My hearing is still sort of muffled, at least in one ear & it hurts when I hiccup or yawn or blow my nose. What do I do? When will this heal?
