Blocked left ear

2017-09-11 17:39:56
A few days back, my left ear started getting blocked but it eventually opened the same day. However, since 2 days, it has not unblocked. On stretching the ear, it feels a bit open, but on releasing, it again gets blocked. There is not any pain, just numbness. I have also started feeling soreness in throat since yesterday. The upper left palate appears to have a few small red spots.
