One Ear Clogged At Night

2020-08-04 12:40:10
Woke up at night with one ear blocked. No pain, no cold or cough symptoms. Just blocked ear which opens up when jaw is moved around or earlobe is pulled away towards the face to broaden the ear passage. Online search suggests Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. What could be the solution?
