the plugged feeling may have nothing to do with the infection at this point but related to a eustachian tube that is not regulating middle ear pressure. it is not possible to predict how long this might last since every person is different when it comes to healing. eustachian tube dysfunction can last days. or months so hopefully yours will improve soon.
i had an ear infection and was treated with antibiotics but it still feels plugged how long will this go on?
