See your doctor : it may not have fully drained. If so your hearing may seem dull until it clears. Ask for ear drops that have some steroid like hydrocortisone to get specific instructions on use. You may need to lie down for a few mins. During instillation, and put some cotton in to keep it there. You may need to ask whether short term decongestant can help you too. Stay away from dairy products too.Treat allergy.
