Hey everyone, I've done some searching around, but I couldn't find anything about my situation.
A little less than two weeks ago, I took a day trip to Maui with a friend of mine.

Thursday: Right ear started to get plugged from sinus problems. To where I couldn't really hear out of it.

Friday: DFW > LAX > OGG, then 5 hours in Maui.

Then 7 hour flight from OGG >> DFW. The HNL > DFW flight canceled so they rerouted people and as a result, no upgrade

Landed back in DFW and once again, and after a semi-painful landing, couldn't hear.

In any case, went to a CareNow. Got a FloNase prescription, along with a steroid shot. (Found that kind of odd...?) The doctor seemed not to have much experience with this kind of thing, but I guess that's carenow. Said that it's definitely still the air pressure. My ears have gotten somewhat better since then, but still kinda blocked.

That said, I have no more sinus infection, but I have to fly this Wednesday evening to San Diego. Does anyone know if using EarPlanes with my ears in the current condition will keep things the way they are? Or will it make things worse? I'm on a refundable ticket, so if absolutely necessary, I can stay put. Won't be convenient in the long run, but I really can't do this for too much longer. It's getting pretty crazy.

Any advice? Any remedies for plugged ears in this kind of situation?

Thanks
