Why does my shower only trickle?

Unequal pressure between hot and cold water at the showerhead means the clog is in the valve, not the shower head. One of the small ports or openings in the valve is clogged with a piece of sediment that’s blocking the flow of the hot or cold water. Clean out the cartridge or install a new one to get full flow again.

It’s usually the washer on the shut off valve. It can also be a kinked supply line.

The water was only coming out of the left hole and it was hot water. There was no cold water coming out.

Why is my shower not mixing with the shower water?

Once the water temperature is as hot as you’d like, replace the faucet head. If your problem wasn’t the anti-scalding device, your shower mixing valve has most likely gone bad and is preventing hot water from mixing properly into your shower water.
