Blocked sensation in one ear following head cold for 1 week is likely to be caused by ome rather than due to ear wax. Even if you had ear wax, using ear buds would make the situation worse by pushing ear wax deep inside external auditory canal. Please consult an experienced ent surgeon for proper management.
