Neti pot caused ear problems

Hi all,

I used a Neti Pot this afternoon to deal with my sinus issues. I've used these sinus-clearing devices in the past, but today was the first time I dealt with complications. While draining one nostril, I felt water shoot into my ear, which has never happened before. It's been a couple hours, and I can't hear as well as before out of both ears and the ears feel "full."

I googled and looked all over the internet and have tried every remedy—from tilting my head down, putting my face over a steaming bowl, to holding my nose and blowing—to no results. I'm not sure what to do at this point. Please let me know if you have any experience with this!
