You might be able to clear (or at least relieve) some of the pressure by doing a Eustachian Tube Massage

Apply pressure to the area below the ear and just behind the jaw bone, then follow the jawline down to the neck (I'm not sure if you go under the jaw or straight down the neck. I do both)

Obviously, if this causes pain, don't continue

I've been trying all the tricks I can find including that one. Been breathing in steam from a bowl with a towel other my head, using a various forms of heat on my ears and face. Taking the good cold medicine that they keep behind the counter at the pharmacy plus Flonase, and antihistamines. Went through a week of antibiotics just in case. I started wearing a mask at work and outside in case it is allergies. I have one side that is getting unblocked finally, which was the first side to get blocked.
