Q: Common Cold + High Elevation Road Trip = Clogged Ear 1 Week+

I was just getting over a cold and cough before going on a road trip to the snow. On the way home, my ears did the usual clogging at the high elevation portion of the trip, but instead of unclogged eventually....The right ear never has. I'm going on the 7th day and it will not budge...I was described naserel from the Dr. And going on day 3 w/ it w/ no success. I was told i'd be given anti-biotics as a next step. I've also tried traditional attempts such as plugging my nose and blowing etc...Nothing.

This is getting a bit annoying and I am starting to get concerned...Having a heavily muffled right ear is a bit scary. Is this normal?...Any suggestions, recoommendations, or feedback?

Thanks
