Hi Doctor, While Landing Both My Ears Got Badly Blocked.
Hi Doctor,
While landing both my ears got badly blocked. While my left ear opened, my right ear kept on getting more and more blocked and the pressure kept on increasing followed by pain. Suddenly it cracked / squished followed by a fraction of a second of acute pain, and there was some marginal opening of the ear. However soon after exiting from the airport, the same ear seems clogged/pressured, and there is pain. When I swallow, there is feeling like paper is being crushed/squished in my ear. There is a feeling of outward pressure, and pain in the jaw starting to creep in. I tried to equalize by pinching my nose and breathing out through it softly, but I only hear the crackle, no equalization. Please help.
