Why do my left side ear plug when i eat . after i finished swallowing it opens again . i cleaned my ear but still this happens since a year .

For some: reasons the atmospheric pressure not getting equal on both side of the eardrum when you eat. Not enough air hitting your eardrum coming from the Eustachian tube side. You need your ear and throat to be looked at it by a ear-nose-throat doctor.
