hello. it is likely that you are having a nose infection , which is leading to blockage of your eustachian tube and hence the clogged ear. please meet your ENT doctor for confirming this. he will start you on some antibiotics and decongestants. meanwhile try steam inhalation 4-5 times a day, it will help. thanks
