Hello doctor,
My niece was playing with a toy with some kind of suction on it. She put it on my ear and pulled the suction. Now my left ear feels blocked or something. It is the same feeling as having water inside. It was painful at first (especially when I burp) but got better after a day. The pain is almost gone now but the blocked/ fullness feeling is still there. What should I do?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Avoid water entering the said ear while bathing or swimming. We need to make sure there is no perforation of the drum. For the same, you must visit an ENT surgeon who can look into the ear through an otoscope. You can take an antihistaminic tablet to reduce fullness. It will help if the fullness is due to eustachian tube dysfunction caused due to pressure changes by suctioning. Do revert back if you need any support. Will be happy to help.
