I accidentally used xylometazoline hydrochloride nasal spray in my ear instead of my nose. I'm really worried about what might happen. Can you tell me if this is dangerous or if there are any steps I should take now?

Question

I've been dealing with this strange sensation in my left ear. It all started a few days back when I had a cold and was blowing my nose a lot. At one point, after blowing my nose, it felt like some kind of air pressure built up in my left ear. Now that my cold is gone, it still feels like Im breathing through my left ear. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this?
