Blocked Ear

2025-09-30 21:18:34
I had cold since the last 8-10 days and since the last 2 days my symptoms have improved a lot. My nose is now decongested. I had lost my smell and taste which is now back. However since the last 2 days my left ear is blocked. I have tried blowing with my nose closed but only my right ear pops. I tried massaging near my ear, yawning and various stuff but my left ear doesn't open. It is annoying me and I'm looking for some solution. Please help me out.
