the second method we learned while diving is to pinch your nose then breathe out through your nose. but a audiologist friend said if i do that while diving, i could blow out my ear drums; i don't know if the same applies to land or not.

did you try taking a sinus decongestant? sometimes it helps too.
I've been taking Vicks Cough and Sore Throat during the day and Benedryl at night. My mom had this problem too. I think I'll suck it up and go to the doc on Monday.
