on monday october 7, i was using lysol bathroom cleaner and i think i used too much because the fumes irritated me. a few hours later, the right side of my nose kept running and i had to keep blowing it. i thought i was having an allergy to the cleaner. so i took a claritin and that helped stopped the running. i felt fine a couple days after. but i notice that its hard for me to pop my right ear. my left ear pops fine. but im having trouble popping my right ear. im going on a plane ride next weekend (oct.19) and im wondering if its best to cancel my trip since my right ear isn't popping. im afraid that it won't pop during the flight so then i might have ear issues while on the plane. is there anything i can do now so that i dont have to cancel my flight? would taking a decongestant help now?
