Ear block after a bout of cold.
My right ear is blocked for the last 2 months. I had a severe case of chest congestion and since then it got blocked. Had a course of anti biotics and the congestion is nearly gone but the ear is blocked. Although it did pop open once. In the meanwhile I did take a few flights and the ear block was worse.
