Suggest Treatment For Cold And Pressure In The Head
I flew on an airplane 2 days ago with a cold and there was really bad pressure in my head while decending. My ears were really popped for the first day, especially my left ear, but since yesterday afternoon they re a lot better now. But tonight (and happened maybe once or twice yesterday) when I blow my nose, it feels like there is pressure trying to escape (or successfully escaping - not sure which) and it really hurts. The only way to aleve it is closing my ear while blowing my nose. Any idea what might be causing it and if it means I need medicine?
