Blocked ears
Hi, I’ve had a cold for a while seems to be getting better and I’ve had a sore throat I’m guessing due to the cold. However, I’ve also had blocked ears for nearly two weeks and they aren’t popping or anything, sometimes my left ears hurts a little but I’m not sure why it hasn’t popped yet. Any advise, remedies or known causes?

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. It usually resolves spontaneously after few days. You can use anti Histamine medicines for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Meanwhile you can do valsalva maneuver for quick recovery
