Ear tube: Yes, you can blow out your ear tube when blowing your nose. You may have fluid in your ear causing pain.

YES... Can be,: When one blows the blocked/stuffy nose hard, feels pressure in the ears. This is because of transmission of pressured air into the middle ear through the eustacian tube. This pressure may dislodge pe tube, can cause pain and drainage of meddle ear fluid. Put saline nasal spray and gently blow your blocked/stuffed nose, take some Ibuprofen for pain. Check with the ENT surgeon if not better.
