See an ENT: I know it sounds simple to say, but at this point you may want to visit an ear, nose and throat doctor.

See your MD: If you have a cold or flu, your eustacian tubes are likely closed due to swollen mucous membranes...A common problem. A decongestant, expectorant or anti-histamine may help shrink the membranes and allow the tube to open which equalizes the pressure on either side of the ear drum. If symptoms persist, see your physician.
