I've had major congestion and pressure in my ear for over a week now. I just woke up that way one morning. I've been using a humidifier, took Benadryl, saw my PCP to verify nothing was actually in my ear. He verified that my ear wasn't infected but said I just had sinus congestion. I have no other cold symptoms but I sound as if I have the flu when speaking! Soooo frustrating!
