Blocked ear

2023-03-28 07:09:18
I had a throat infection which eventually led to watery nasal discharge and ear pain. I had ear pain for 2 days a week ago. Since then I don't have war pain but my ear feels blocked . I can't seem to pop my ear no matter what. I still have an ever so slightly watery nose. It's been over a week, I can't pop my ear open. It feels blocked ( no wax in ear ) Please help.

Need to see inside the ear to make a correct diagnosis. Can be wax ( don't know how I ruled it out). Another possibility is fluid in the middle ear. I strongly suggest an examination. Treatment varies.
