Right ear popped and wont go back to normal?

in the shower i was washing my face and accidentally plugged my nose and exhaled through my nose at the same time. my right ear popped as if i were diving or descending on an airplane. only since I am at sea level my ear popped. usually it would just re-pressurize and return to normal but now i feel as if my ear is TOO unblocked. as if i can literally breathe air out my ear. please dont give me the response "just plug your nose and blow, or chew gum, or yawn" that is how you POP your ear, I am trying to recover from an accidental pop at sea level. my ear is simply too popped and wont return to normal equal pressure. thanks
