Earache and Clogged ears. Help.?

Question

Last night I felt like my ears were clogged. Not too long afterward my left ear started hurting terribly and after ear drops, pain pill, and about 60 to 70 minutes it finally died down and i was able to get some sleep. Now all day I've felt like that ear is clogged and sometimes with certain movements or angles I get like a sting but it goes away quickly. I just had a flu of some sort including fever last week. Is this related? What do I do about it and can it lead to something worse. Also i'm traveling in 3 days and i'm scared what the airplane might do to my ear.

I'd say go see your doctor.  A quick look in your ears and they would probably see whats going on. Might be an ear infection or something like that.
