Hello,
A hollow sound is definitely due to ET dysfunction and associated pressure changes.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
You can do steam inhalation for symptomatic relief.
Consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
