Suggest Remedy To Remove Blockage From Ears After Flying

hi i recently cam back froma business trip and was down with a terrible flu. Whilst arriving back home on the plane i felt a sharp pain in my ears, head and nose. I went to see the doctor immediately when i was home and the doctor prescibed the usual flu medication and ear drop. Unfortunately my ears feel blocked though its getting much better every day whilst i perform "clenching my nose and blowing it out" method. I am due to fly in a week's time and the blockage is getting lesser though i can still feel the popping sound when i yawn or swallow my saliva. Will the blocking go off at some point of time or will i need to see an ENT specialist? Am i ok to fly again in 1 week's time without getting any coplications with ears, head and nose?
