Ds had a cold when flying back to school after the break. That was Sunday and one of his ears is still "popped". I told him to keep taking dayquil and also motrin. Any other ideas. Besides the close nostrils and blow thing.

This happened to me once and I went to a chiropractor. As soon as my neck was adjusted, my ear drained. It was amazing and felt 100% after that.

Taking over the counter mucinex? Or can he tolerate a decongestant? Chewing gum might help as well.

The other issue is....did it hurt really bad, like his ear drum ruptured? My sister actually had that happen a few times, not good.
