Pain in right ear

2025-12-24 18:17:06
I recently travelled from a high-altitude area (~10,000 ft) to lower altitude (Shoja → Aut → Mandi → Delhi) while having mild cold symptoms. During descent, I developed pain in my right ear along with a feeling of blockage and mildly reduced hearing. The pain increases when I move my head. There is no ear discharge, no fever, no dizziness or vertigo, and hearing loss is not sudden or severe. Symptoms started during travel and are ongoing. Seeking ENT evaluation for possible ear barotrauma / Eustachian tube blockage.
