Prickly throat, ear blocked
My ears are getting blocked randomly throughout the day for the past 5 days. Additionally, I have been feeling a prickly feeling in my throat while swallowing. This prickly feeling is sometimes very mild but other times it's sharp like a needle (sometimes followed by cough).
No cold so far. No fever.
Haven't had any cold beverages.
Had gone swimming a week before & water might have entered the ears but no ringing feeling in the ear as of now.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
