Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding feeling of blockade in your left ear, and this is not cleared by blowing nose against pinched nostrils. this all happens after a blow on left ear.

After analysing facts of your clinical history it appears as you are having traumatic perforation on your left ear drum. Here I would like to suggest you that fortunately our ear drum has got tremendous healing power and most of the time it heals by itself in 2 to 3 weeks time.

For excillent healing you should care for-

1- Don't blow out against pinched nose.

2- Don't put any ear drop (keep ear clean and dry).

3- Do steam inhalation.

4- Took anti inflammatory.

5- Took anti histaminic.

Probably above will help you and you will feel happy.

Regards.
