My ear hasn't been the same since flying home last Thursday night. I flew home while I had strep throat. I'm experiencing a muffled feeling, and pain on the side of my head.I've tried everything as suggested. Today I went to my GP and she said there wasn't an infection. No redness. Basically it'll have to go away on it's own. I fly again next month and am concerned. I fly frequently but never felt pain as i did last week. Is there anything else you can suggest and is it alright to fly next month, Did not realize this was a pay service. Never mind!!
