Question
About a week ago, I had a cold, and since Monday, my ears have been uncomfortable. On Tuesday, I noticed muffled hearing in my left ear, accompanied by a feeling of blockage and decreased hearing.
Answer
Ear blockage and hearing loss following a cold may indicate serous otitis media. A specialist examination is required to confirm the diagnosis, and appropriate oral medication should be administered. If there is fluid accumulation in the ear, a mastoid aspiration may be necessary to treat the condition.
