Eustachian Tube: Your symptoms suggest a common cold and Eustachian Tube dysfunction. The ear congestion is usually temporary. Gently "popping" your ears every few hours by blowing with your mouth closed and nose pinched will push air into the eustachian tubes and help to unblock the ET. Using Flonase twice daily may help.
