This happens in acute URI
Can be a case of serious otitis media too
This happens due to mucus plugging and blocking of eustachian tube.
If there is no fever and no yellowish coloured discharge, child's activity is good; nothing to worry.
Next Steps
1.Keep the child hydrated
2. Avoid using any instruments to clean ear at home
3. Can try paracetamol SYP to reduce pain
4. use nasal saline drops to liquify secretions
