Does anyone know what to do for congestion?
I have like really bad pressure on my right ear and I have no clue what to do to help it.

You could try some Sudafed (or anything with pseudoephedrine in it). It it is just sinus congestion, that should clear it out. If it doesn't, you might need to make an appointment with a doctor.

No! You take a Q-Tip and shove it as far as you can and wriggle it around with the fervor of one hundred lemmings!

Wait...no...not quite right...

I advise to do what Moe said, or see if it may be water on the ear. If it is water, they make solutions to dry out the water.

Or you know, visit the doctor. As said.

Go me for having one actual thing to contribute to the coversation. >_<

If you dribble a little hot water in there it should start to melt any wax build up. If you are clumsy or a sook and so have issues with that, you might try some steam... ie: very hot water in a basin, towel over your head etc same as when you have a blocked nose.
But wax may not be your problem.
Either way, just be aware that, if you stick anything into the messed up ear and then put it into the other ear afterward, you could spread the problem if it's some kind of infection.

Get a pan of boiling hot water (that is steaming), and lay it down on a table, put you face above it, and inhale the steam slowly, do that for 20 minutes or until you feel better. What it does is it loosens up the mucous and allows you to easily get rid of congestion, by loosening the mucous, it makes it easier to blow out the object(s) causing the congestion.

I eat wasabi. It burns the congestion out of me.

Note: Only use wasabi if you're REALLY F***ING DESPERATE.
