Hi.. Pressure can changes can cause damage to the tympanic membrane.. It is likely that you may have rupture the membrane while doing the act.. I feel that you must see your doctor for examination.. In the mean time, till you see your doctors, keep the ear dry and do not apply water in the affected ear...
Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.You have most likely developed acute otitis media,called as middle ear infection,due to forcing of phlegm in eustachian tubes.You will require proper course of antibiotics.Consult an ENT specialist for the proper examination and treatment.Thanks and good luck.
