Either nostril can become blocked by mucus or swelling of the nasal lining. In some cases, the pathway to the nasal turbinates (rear passages) can become closed and result in only one nostril bringing air in.
You could try saline spray (non-irritating) or see your doctor about using decongestants or other treatments to enable both sides of the nose to take in air. Rarely, this could require medication to reduce thickening of the turbinate walls.

No, it is not possible to breathe through your ears. The ears are primarily responsible for hearing and maintaining balance through the inner ear structures like the cochlea and semicircular canals.

The ears do not have the necessary anatomical structures to facilitate respiration.

Without oxygen, our cells would not be able to function properly, leading to organ failure and eventually death.

Why do we need 2 nostrils?
So that we can get more oxygen in our body and more carbon dioxide out of our body. The reason is air filtration. Each nostril has hunderds of hairs and mucous to trap particulate in the air. One nostril would be less effective at trapping since there would be more air traveling through the nostril that would not come into contact with hairs/ nostril lining which has mucous.
