DO NOT DO THAT
If you have flu and hold your nose and blow you risk blow back bacteria into the ear cavities, I did that in the year 2000 and had ear infections ever since in the left ear that comes back twice a year, the ear, nose and throat are all connected.
Maybe go to the docs if it doesn't clear cos it might be infected.
I once heard nose-spray can help unbloke your ears, but I don't know if it's true or not. (Spraying the nose, not using it in the ear just to clarify).
My ears get blocked up pretty much every time I get a cold :yeees:
Doctor told me to use Beconase (sp) and to steam my face to help loosen my ears up! The steaming really helps to unblock them.
