Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Muffling and numbness in the ears with pain indicates that there is some amount of congestion in the Eustachian tube, which connects pharynx and middle ear.
You need to take nasal decongestants like combination of Paracetamol, Cetirizine and Phenylephrine tablet or syrup.
Also do salt water gargling with warm water thrice a day.
Your symptoms will gradually reduce.
Wish you speedy recovery.
