Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of stuffed ear feeling which seems to be due to remnants of upper respiratory tract infection leading to eustachian tube dysfunction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined and start treatment after complete examination. You should get otoscopic examination done. Take proper course of antibiotics such as Levofloxacin along with antiinflammatory medication such as Levocetrizine. Avoid touching or pricking ear with sharp object. Put otogesic ear drops.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
