Ear blocks

2016-12-06 07:29:00
During every winter season my ear gets either left or right blocked. Nowadays at night when I sleep my left year gets blocked and does not open for hours. I try to clear the blockage by yawning or taking in the salaiva but this doesn't work. When I get up in the morning the ear again gets cleared after doing some walk. What would be the problem and what should I temporarily do for this.

You are suffering from ET dysfunction. Blow your nose to keep it free from secretions. Take fruits regularly, avoid smoke and dust. Avoid overcrowded and confined places. Consult a good ENT specialist for assessment of your audiological and ET function and advice you accordingly.
