I, too, blew my nose too hard and got my right ear plugged. There is too much pressure in there and I'm not sure how to relieve it. It's been hours. I agree, swimmer's ear is easy, plug and blow slightly, easy, no problem. But, this is an "ear-pop" from blowing my nose, so there is too much pressure. Holding my nose and blowing will create MORE pressure, that has to be wrong for this situation. I need to open the internal passage to let the pressure back into my sinus.
I am interested in this pressing-earlobe trick, but it's very unclear how to do this, exactly. Could someone please post the steps clearly. I don't understand where this bulb of cartilage is that I'm supposed to feel, which way I'm supposed to be turning/leaning/bending/pressing. Please post, step-by-step. All I have with this so far is a sore ear/jaw from pressing and twisting my body every which-way.
