Hello.........  Yawn or swallow repeatedly. Alternate the two actions until your ears have popped. These moves exercise the Eustachian muscles... Hold your nose while closing your mouth and try to blow through your nose. This move may also help open the Eustachian tubes. If it doesn't work the first time, keep trying.
