I am having discomfort in my right ear. It feels like water is stuck in it but I have not been in the water except for showering. It also sounds scratchy when I move it. My friend looked in it with a flashlight and saw what looked like a white smooth bubble. In the other ear it looked like wax and rough. Can you help?

ACCEPTED Check Mark

You may have some water (from showering) trapped in the ear by earwax (cerumen) -- if left unattended, this may lead to Swimmer's Ear. You can remove cerumen yourself -- or you can have a doctor do it.

Good Luck!
