I'm not a docter, but I think that means it's infected. Hi--I am an audiology student at university. Sometimes your ear will hurt and feel clogged because there is fluid inside. Fluid can be caused by several things but is often caused by malfunction of the Eustacian tube. (The Eustacian tube connects the middle ear--the part further inside your head from the eardrum--to the throat. When you go up in an airplane, for example, and your ear 'pops', that is the Eustacian tube opening and closing to equalize the pressure between the middle ear and the throat.) If it doesn't open and close to equalize the pressure of your middle ear, fluid can build up in the middle ear space. Fluid can result in an ear infection, so if the feeling persists for more than a couple of days you should see your doctor. Ear infections occur more often for younger than older children because their Eustacian tubes are more horizontal so the fluid in their ears doesn't drain out through the throat as it would for an older child (7 or 8 and over).

Your ears, nose, and throat are all connected on one system. So when you're congested from a cold or Allergies, etc, your ears feel "stuffed" due to pressure put on them by build up of mucus in the nasal passages, most commonly. In high altitudes they feel stuffed due to pressure from the high altitudes...of course.

This is most likely an ear infection. I have had it many times so I understand the feeling you are describing. I suggest you go and get checked out by a doctor, so that they can give you some antibiotics or whatever you may need. After taking these for a couple of days, the pain and blocked feeling should ease until it is completely gone.

Sometimes fluid and mucus become trapped in the ear instead of flowing down the throat.These will make the ear to get stuff. It also leads to cold,influenza and sinusitis. when your ear get stuff,you have hearing loss,you will listen sounds in higher volume and you can feel your ear get wattered.Dr. Ravi Kumar MBBS, MS has been working as a ENT surgeon in hyderabad, India for 25 years that he has been treating all kinds of treatments Like ENT and Head & Neck.

A Eustachian tube blockage is one potential reason for a clogged or stuffed ear. The Eustachian tube connects our middle ear to the throat. Fluid and mucus stream from the ear to the back of the throat through this tube, where it's gulped.

But, instead of streaming down the throat, liquid and mucus can here and there get caught in the middle ear and clog the ear. This blockage normally goes with an infection, for example, the common cold, flu, or sinusitis. Allergic rhinitis can likewise cause a stuffed ear.

Herbsdaily website offers a variety of products to treat clogged ears.

If you just went swimming or something and it is a few days after you went swimming then it is a lot of water in your ears so that is why your ears are still clogged.

How come my right ear feels like its kind of clogged but at the same time not really but when I eat it does feel like its clogged what can that be or mean?

This is because of a difference between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure inside your ear. This pulls on your ear drum, which makes it feel like your ear is clogged. When you chew, it opens a tube that connects your ear and throat, called the Eustacian tube. If you are acquainted with scuba diving techniques, you will know how to equalise the pressure in your ear. If not, then it basically consists of holding your nose shut with one hand while blowing out. However, you should be careful with this, as if done improperly it can be harmful. Given this, I would not suggest that you try it without proper training. For now, just chewing on anything, or swallowing a gulp of water will do the trick. (sound familiar? This is the same thing as what happens when your ears pop at altitudes)
