How to un-clog my ear?

My right ear feels clogged and it keeps bothering me. The same thing happened to me this time last year. I usually wear headphones most of the day to stop the irritation. I went to the doctor last year and he said that I had no hearing loss and said it could be a build up of wax. He resolved the problem by taking a water pick and blasting water in my ear at the highest setting. It had to be one of the strangest, worst pains I've ever felt. It doesn't feel like wax in my ear but I can definitively feel something. It can't be swimmers ear cause I haven't been swimming yet this summer. I think it could be allergies or fluid buildup. Does anyone know a less painful way to fix this problem?maybe ear drops or something? And I already know not to stick q tips in my ear.
