It seems like your ear pain and the sensation of blockage might be related to a build-up of mucus or phlegm (Kapha) in the ear or respiratory system, which can affect your hearing and cause discomfort. In Ayurveda, this condition could be linked to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which is responsible for the accumulation of mucus in the body. When you clear your throat or cough up phlegm, it may temporarily relieve the sensation of blockage, as the mucus in the ear or sinuses is being cleared. To address this, you could benefit from Ayurvedic remedies that help reduce excess Kapha, such as herbal formulas that support respiratory health and clear mucus, like Pippali or Trikatu. Additionally, a gentle oil massage with warm sesame oil on the neck and around the ear, along with steam inhalation with herbs like eucalyptus or ginger, can help clear congestion. For your chest and back pain, treatments like Abhyanga (oil massage) and Panchakarma therapies could also help by reducing accumulated toxins and improving circulation. It's important to maintain a balanced diet, avoid cold and heavy foods, and keep your body warm to support overall healing. If symptoms persist, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan would be beneficial.

Dealing with ear pain and all those weird sensations can really be a headache, huh. Even though you mentioned that the doctor’s visit helped and the pain is gone, feeling like something's still blocking or crackling in your ear when you swallow can be a real bother. Let’s dig into what might be causing this lingering sensation and what you can do on your own.
First off, ear blockage could be related to some imbalance in your kapha dosha – you know, it's the energy type that’s linked with mucus and other fluids in your body. It’s quite possible there's some kind of mucus build-up or a mild Eustachian tube dysfunction. These tubes are little passages connecting the middle ear to the throat—hence the connection with swallowing.
You might find relief with a simple pranayama practice called Anulom Vilom or alternate nostril breathing. It's great for balancing doshas and can even help clear out excess kapha. Just find a comfy seat, use your right thumb to close your right nostril, inhale through the left, and then switch, exhaling through the right. Do this for about 5-10 minutes daily if possible. It's pretty calming too, double win!
Next, let’s talk steam. Yeah, steaming isn't just for facials! Inhaling steam, maybe with a little eucalyptus oil, can thin out any stubborn mucus. Just be careful not to burn yourself while you're at it. 1-2 times a day should suffice.
Diet matters too. Try to consume warm, cooked foods rather than cold or heavy items as they might increase kapha. So, more soups and herbal teas, like ginger or tulsi, which help with clearing out phlegm and easing any irritation.
A gentle ear massage using some warm sesame oil might also ease discomfort. Just, be super careful—apply it around the outside, without letting it drip inside.
If the symptoms continue or worsen, though, make sure to catch up with your doctor again. Sometimes things need modern medicine's magic touch. Stay tuned into what your body tells you.
