###Human: How can the feeling of pressure inside the ear be relieved? ###Assistant: Hi. Possibilities are impacted wax, ear canal infection, middle ear infection, eustachian tube catarrh. Unless one sees inside the ear using an otoscope or endoscope it is difficult to diagnose. However, a course of antibiotic with decongestant and keeping ears dry till you get better can work in an empirical way for most of the diagnoses listed above. If you need more information on that revert back to me. One can buy ear cameras and they do help in cases like yours where you are not able to go to an ENT. You can take pictures of the inside of the ear and share with us online and we can guide you on what is to be done.
