my age is 13 and I do listen to earphones, mostly I just put the earphone on my RIGHT ear

I did go through a 3 day cough  and sneezing flu
Is there some kind of home remedy for this??

Two possibilities here - a wax impaction or a middle ear effusion.  The first might be treated effectively with some home ear drops/irrigation.  The second frequently just requires time.  Only someone looking into your ear could tell which is which.
