Eustachian tube dysf: Try popping your ears but pinching your nose and blowing hard. Your ears should pop. Of not you should see your family doc and they can give you some Flonase (a nasal steroid) that can reduce the inflammation around the eustachian tube. This will help the pressure feeling. For the external ear infections, try a few drops of alcohol in the ear after showering or swimming. Good luck!
