hello and welcome to health care magic,
There can be a multitude of causes of ear block and the best you can do now is not to worry about the cause and concentrate on the solution.
The more common cause would be a common cold, or a wax or just an effusion
In any case it must be investigated further and treatment should be instituted; so you must do these:
-The medications which you must start could be antihistamine like levocetrizine and multivitamin tablets or injections. Your doctor should know about this.
-get an audiometry testing done including PTA and Impedance and get back to me or any ENT with the report
- Do not take head bath for two weeks till the wound completely heals and do not allow even a single drop of water to enter the ear or try to meddle the ear yourself till an ENT has done a good examination
-try steam inhalation with menthol or other similar agents at least two to three times in a day for two weeks or so
Hope your mother gets well soon
take care
regards
