I had an ear infection about three weeks ago without any cold or allergy . I had spent significant amount of time in the water a few days before. We assumed that was the cause. I was on an ear drop that didn t work then had a zpack filled which immediately relieved the pain and discomfort. Since the end of my antibiotic , the ear has been much better but still wasn t 100%. Last week I caught a cold and had a good amount of congestion. Didn t change the ear much. Congestion is almost gone and still zero pain, and hearing seems to be OK, but still seems a little loose. The pressure is easily changed from popping (like in an airplane) to sniffing the pressure tight again. Neither seem to be 100% comfortable. Again, no pain, just can t seem to find the right pressure. Will this subside with the congestion, or is there still something else going on? Thanks! Alex
