Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The clogged feeling in the ear is likely to improve with the decongestant ear drops and antibiotics over 5-7 days. You need to use the drops as advised by your physician for at least three days and still if there is no improvement in the symptoms then you may go for a follow up visit for a re-evaluation.
It takes almost a week for full recovery.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
