Can't hear properly
Hi
I have ear pain 2 days ago and then my right side ear was blocked.
I have shown it to the doctors and the doctor gives me some ear drops and medicine one day before.
But I felt now my right side ear has some hearing issue.
I think hearing is reduced from that ear and it's noticeable.
I am still taking those pills and drips.
I just want to know if this hearing issue is temporarily or if I need to worry about it.

U need to get a physical consultation with ENT doctor for otoscopic/oto-endoscopic examination of ear so as to diagnose the issue exactly
