For 3 days, I have had a blocked ear. It's not painful but quite uncomfortable. What should I do?

It is recommended to try using a product like Otrivin™ to open up the canal between the ear and throat (the Eustachian tube) and then perform the Valsalva maneuver to help drain any accumulated fluid from the ear. If this technique does not improve the situation in a couple of days, it would be best to consult a doctor. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Dristan can help accelerate drainage by opening up the Eustachian tube.
