How To Treat Clogged Ears Caused After Spraying Saline Solution?
I just got a daith piercing yesterday and immediately after the piercer sprayed saline in the area I felt my ear clogging up/muffled hearing. I ve tried swimmer s ear drops to dry it up, but still no relief. I m not sure if there s still saline trapped in there or possibly blood from the piercing.

Hello,
Very likely you are having wax in the ear and it may have swelled up due to moist from the sprayed saline solution. You may benefit from some olive oil drops to soften the wax and help it come out.
If in three days of using olive oil drops 3-4 times a day you are not any better or wax is not coming out or if you notice any pain or secretions from the ear you will need a visit with your doctor.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
