Suggest Treatment For Blocked Sensation In Ears After Sky Diving

I am 65 years of age and sky dived from 14,000 feet with free fall to 7,000 feet 5 days ago. I had pain in both ears whilst in free fall and now 5 days later no pain but one ear is still blocked and I m unable to equalise the pressure. I am using Otrivin nasal spray and Sudafed tabs with no improvement. What next ? Antibiotics?

Your eustachian tube is blocked and has not been smooth. you are using the correct medication and does not require further treatment. While you drops them, you making Vasava exercise in combination to smooth your eustachian.
