You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. Your problem might have worsened because of air travel. It usually resolves spontaneously after few days. You can use anti cold medicines for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
