What do you suggest if i have had a cold for the last few days, today i woke up and my right ear was clogged, is this normal ?

Otitis: you probably have otitis and should have your ear drums checked by your PCP if you have one.

I woke up with my left ear being numb and feeling clogged, when I lay on one side (because of the pressure) my ear will go numb. Usually it goes back to normal within a couple minutes but today its been an hour and its feeling more clogged. Help?
