I am on day 18 of having what I believe to be the flu. I am pretty much better except my left ear is still so plugged up. It has been this way for all of the 18 days. Is this too long to have a plugged up ear? My hearing is a little muffled and it clicks in there when I swallow and stuff. I think it’s the Eustachian tubes. There’s no pain or anything really. Just not sure if I need to go to the doctor right away or if this can be normal for the ear congestion to last this long. Has anyone else had a plugged up ear that didn’t go away for 3 weeks or more?
