It seems that you ear infection has cleared with treatment but the persistent blocked sensation may be due to accumulated fluid in the middle ear ( OME ).
Next Steps
Please consult a good ENT doctor in your city for further management.
Health Tips
About 80% of the OME clear with medical treatment for a reasonable time. If medical treatment fails you have to undergo a small operation, myringotomy and grommet insertion.
