Crackling sound in ear
I had ear infection which cured 10 days ago. After that I felt clogging in ear and crackling sound comes when I swallow or do some other activities involved with ear. Sometimes I also have ringing in ear. I met my ENT he said it's due to blockage of eustachian tube and it will resolve.
I wanted to know how long will it take to heal and any home remedies.
