I'm guessing it would have hurt if you ruptured your eardrum by blowing your nose (although it's possible), but for sure the next thing to do would be to see an ENT or Otologist, who can tell if the eardrum is OK, if you've got an ear infection, or something else.
Things to try in the meantime: Sometime you can 'unpop' (deflate) your ear by pinching your nose and swallowing several times. Our pediatrician used to tell us to get nose drops into the eustachian tube by lying on a bed with the head hanging over the edge, and then put the drops in.
