I flew home from holiday with a cold and sore throat on Saturday. Despite wearing EarPlanes earplugs, my ears were very painful during descent and wouldn't pop. I was left with muffled hearing and a feeling of fullness, so I went to my GP on Monday. He said my eardrums were retracted and prescribed a steroid nasal spray to reduce the inflammation.
My left ear has improved, but my right still feels blocked and sore. I suffer from anxiety and depression, and this situation is starting to make me panic.
Has anyone else experienced this? Do you have any advice? How long did it take to clear up?
Thank you.
