Ear Cleaning

Hello, my father has a blocked ear after swimming and can’t hear anything. Should he do anything to fix it? He has tried holding his nose and breathing out, along with lying on his side. He’s worried that it’s not getting any better. Can you please advise me? We are on holiday in Alonissos. Thanks very much!
