Ear problems. Help?
I was flying last week at FL85 with a bit of a runny nose which developed into a cold a day or two later. After the flight my left ear wouldnt "pop" and is giving me problems still and so am looking for some advice.
When i swallow i can hear a clicking sound and my hearing sounds muffled untill i swallow again. There is no pain but it is very annoying and would like to get this sorted out as soon as possible. I had a check up with my doctor who tells me that there is no perforation or visable damage to the ear drum.
Does anybody know what is/has caused this and what i can do to make it go away? would it be ok for me to fly?
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
