Blockage in ear

2017-07-22 05:33:38
I encountered blockage in my left ear and it affected my hearing. It opens itself while sleeping depending on the position of my head. When i sleep tuning left ear down, it gets blocked and when i sleep in right ear down direction, it somehow opens up. It has been 5 days almost and from last 1 day i haven't encountered much blocking. There is no pain in the ear. I don't have cough/cold right now. Thank you.
