Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of clogged ears which seems to be due to foreign body penetration in ear which is causing ear infection and chances of perforation is there. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Your doctor will examine your ear canals and eardrums using otoscope. Doctor may recommend you few exercises. Doctor may also prescribe decongestant to reduce the swelling of tubes along with antihistamine and antibiotics combination. Avoid touching or pricking ear with any sharp object. Start with exercises such as blowing air with closed nose and mouth, swallowing, yawning or chewing gum .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
