You seem to be suffering from otitic barotrauma induced by air travel. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days. Only symptomatic treatment in the formn of over the counter analgesics is sufficient
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
