Insuff info: Do U have sinusitis? Fever/pain? Is UR nose blocked? Do U feel stuffy? Do U have yellowish/greenish discharge? If these things R true,Sinusitis, see ENT MD. When one comes off plane pressure differences between outside air& inner ear occur (eustachian tube blocked). Then hearing decreased, Afrin (oxymetazoline) helps. But Sinusitis: need Afrin (oxymetazoline) sudaphed & Antibiotics. OK to see ENT MD if does not clear soon
