I sat in a recliner to rest, and everything seemed ok (except for a bad headache)... then about 2 hours after hitting my head i stood up and noticed that my ear felt like there was water in it. Soon after, my ear completely stopped up, like if you have a bad cold. It's been that way ever since (6 days now), and i am starting to become concerned.

My head was swelled behind the ear where i hit it, but it feels like it has gone down a lot... yet the muffled/clogged ear persists. If i hold my nose and blow air out through my nose, my ear pops and feels how it normally would if it was about to clear up, but goes back to feeling clogged when i am not blowing out.

If anyone has experienced this, or knows any information about it, i would be very grateful for your input.

Thanks
