Don't force it, you may hurt yourself.

You need to follow the advice the others have given, but do it gently.

You should also try yawning and swallowing, two more techniques that work.

It should disappear in a day or two, don't worry.

Hold your nose and keep your mouth closed and blow until you get popping or crackling in your ears. You may need to do this several times.
