I started with a cold 6 days ago, blocked nose, full ears and head, no pain at all and my main symptom was very bad pressure in the ears, which made me feel off balance a tad.

When driving my ears fill up worse, it is like when on a plane and you feel they need to pop, but in my case they never pop. I am still snotty, but it is clear, no fever etc.... my main issue is the congestion. Will this clear in time or will I need to take something? I don't get on well with decongestants, but I am using a steroid nasal spray for a polyp that i have had for ages.

My sons have both had this cold, my eldest was hit by it quite badly bless him.
