Hello,

It looks like there is infection in the ear along with fluid accumulation behind the eardrum that is leading to congestion or clogged feeling, reduced hearing and itchiness that is now resolved.

So, my suggestion is to consult an ENT Physician and get evaluated.

You can be advised a course of antibiotics to be taken orally and along with it you can be advised decongestant ear drops like Otrivin and do steam inhalation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
