Pressure in ears and loss of hearing
For the past few days I am feeling pressure in my ears especially right ear and as a result I feel loss of hearing. Today it got aggravted as I was traveling in plane as I started having pain in my right ear.
By the way, I am having cold and cough last few days, mild headaches, and sometimes heaviness in my head.
Could it be sinus infection? I am worried. Pls help.
