Q: i blew my nose too hard and now my right ear is hurting. what should i do to get rid of the pain? i was somewhat congested when i blew my nose?

: Move your jaw and or yawn a few times. The movement straightens the Eustachian tube and can let air enter or escape the middle ear space where the event pushed air in &amp; stretched the eardrum. A moist heat applied to that outer ear can also mask the discomfort.
