My Ear Has Been Plugged Up For A Little Over

my ear has been plugged up for a little over a week now. The best way I can describe it is something like when you get water in your ear, I should also mention that I have had slight sinus issues during this ear problem. Is there anything I can do as far as a home remedy, I have found that by tilting my head to the side for a while gives some relief as well as yawning. would laying my head on a heating pad help?

Thank you,
