Ears blocked.

2017-08-28 08:00:48
I have a cold symptomised by a chesty cough and stuffy nose. Whilst driving down from a mountain my ears blocked and have been blocked for over a week now. I can still hear well, however I am concerned as i plan to fly 4 days from now (2 1/2 hrs) I have tried yawning which can occasionally add relief however they still remain blocked.
