Get ear checked out: There is no home remedy if you think you've injured your ear, especially your ear drum. Your Family Doc can evaluate and refer if necessary to ENT.

Please go to: your doc and get your ear looked at. Keep yourself from getting an infection or harming your hearing. Find the cause. Peace and good health.

Go have exam: It would be wise to have an exam and get a DX.

A member asked:

Good Afternoon, I have been sick since Saturday evening, no COVID, but upon blowing my nose my ear popped loudly. Since I was 9, tubes were put in my ears 3 x's ending at the age 14, both eardrums are cracked. Nausea, dizziness, headaches turn into migraines and unbalance Question is, usually my ear pops back after a day or so, but it's been 4 days and still feels like it's clogged. Should I use Debrox to unclog or get checked for possible Vertigo? Possibly both? Cracked/popped ear drum?
