You will need antibiotics, I think you may be having a eustachian tube block (this is a normal tube between the ear and nose). The blockage of this tube results in fluid accumulation in the ear and this can cause the block sensation. You will need to meet an ent doctor, who will examine you and guide you further. He may start antihistaminics like cetrizine 10 mg and short course of steroids. For the mean time I would like you to start steam inhalation 2-3 times a day. It will help open up the eustachian tube and drain the fluid giving you relief.

Hi lybrate-user if your ears are blocked and you have decreased hearing you can get a pure tone audiometry and tympanometry done. These tests can detect ear canal, drum problems if any. An otoendoscopy may show you the problem with your ear. Hearing loss is serious and should be dealt with urgently. Review with reports if any and I can help you more. Hope this helps
