While coming back in a flight, my ears popped when we were landing. but its been a week and they are still blocked. i have tried blowing with my nose and mouth closed - but it clears one ear only, and even that gets blocked again after a few minutes

You might have developed a collection of fluid in the middle ear which could explain the persistent ear block. You need hearing assessment for further evaluation.
