Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for getting back. Two most common possibilities include: sore throat leading to ear blockage & wax in ear. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:

- take hot water in a cup and add 1 TSF salt in it. Perform gargles(mouth wash) with it thrice a day for 3 days.
- if there is flu then take cetirizine one at night for 3 days.
- Put glycerin softening drops in ear twice a day & clean the ear with cotton bud stick on 2nd day.

Hopefully you will see improvement in 2-3 days but if condition remains same or aggravates then you need to visit hospital & get an appointment for a "Consultant ENT Specialist". He will examine the ear and may perform ear irrigation of necessary.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
