Sir, I have left ear blockage since a week due to cold. I have visited your hospital 5 days back. You gave tablets claribid 500 and defcort 18. Some relaxation came from blockage but still some blockage is still there in my ear. Cold also not there but some blockage is there. Shall I visit the hospital again or I have to continue the tablets.

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. It usually resolves spontaneously after few days. You can use anti Histamine medicines for few days for faster recovery.
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Meanwhile you can do valsalva maneuver for quick recovery
