What Is The Treatment Of Blocked Ear ?

Hi, I had flu for a week and am actually feeling better today. I tried to clear my ear by pinching my nose and blowing lightly but ended up with a very blocked right ear. After an hour, it's starting to ache a bit. DO you think I have ruptured my ear drum. My hearing is very blocked on that ear.
