Perforated eardrum, pressure in ear.

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

Happened a week ago. The draining of fluid stopped about two nights ago, and there's no pain anymore. But the ear feels clogged, as if there's unequal pressure (just like when on a flight) and I feel as though the ear is about to pop. I'd like to know what I should expect during my recovery. Is this normal, or is there something I should be worried about? What's the recovery process supposed to be like? Will my hearing get better with time, or will it just pop when the eardrum is healed?
