Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of clogged sensation in the left ear which could be due to otitis externa , localize infection, eustachian tube dysfunction and wax buildup

Need not to worry. For now apply dry warm compresses to external ear , keep your ear dry , cover them while bathing and take over the counter antihistamine like benadryl .Consult ENT specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may recommend you few exercises like blowing air with closed nose and mouth,swallowing, yawning or chewing gum . Doctor may also prescribe decongestant to reduce the swelling of the lining of the tubes , antihistamine and antibiotics. Doctor may also implanting pressure equalization tubes.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
