Please help! What are some home or OTC remedies and/or OTC medications to help relieve my ears.

Three days ago, my ears were sorta itchy. I used Q-tips and rubbed around my ear canals (like a scratcher). The next day, my ears were plugged in the evening. My mouth was dry, so I thought maybe it was because I wasn’t drinking enough water :( Ears are still plugged. When I listen to music, hear ppl talk and I am talking, I can hear a little ring as well.

Ears doesn’t hurt and it’s a pet peeve!

Anything will help.
