I have been affected by ear block quite frequently off late. No it's not due to excess wax accumulation or common cold. I did visit an ENTspecialist recently and was told that this is due to the blockage between ear and nose and should be alright soon and gave me some medicines. I was on medication for 5 days and felt alright for 10 days, now the ear block as reappeared and it's causing too much of inconvenience and lack of concentration at work. The ear block worsens when I am in the air conditioning room. Please help.

Hello lybrate-user, The thing you are talking about is called as Eustachian tube which connects the nose and middle ear. Blockage of the tube happens due to various reasons. You are already on medication but you can try doing what is called Valsalva manoeuvre. you can perform it 3 times a day. Do it properly without forcing much air into your ears.
