Ear and Head symptoms...Is this a food intolerance?

2 months ago I had an acute oral reaction to something I ate. My gums swelled and mouth turned red and blotchy. 2 days later, I woke up dizzy, nauseous with ear and sinus pressure. This continued for 3 weeks and some of the symptoms tapered off. What I'm left with now is ear congestion that comes and goes for seemingly no reason along with weird, disorienting head pressure. It is not painful, but doesn't feel normal.

I have been to many doctors and have had blood tests, seasonal allergy tests, head MRI, hearing tests, and all come back normal. According to the drs, I am perfectly fine but I don't feel fine. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Has anybody had similar symptoms with a food intolerance? I'm starting to panic that I'm never going to feel normal again.
