It will get better: Since you have been examined and were told that your ears look alright, I can assure you that it will get better. Usually after a viral illness or upper respiratory tract illness the ear tube can get blocked due to edema. It will lead to feeling of stopped ears and it will get better soon. Try blowing your nose while at the same time closing the mouth and pinching the nose(Valsalva Maneuver).
