What is wrong with the inside of my ear??

Tweet

I have had a 'head cold' for some time now, about three weeks, and it has not been pleasant. I feel like my whole face is congested and right when I felt like it was getting better now I feel like all that congestion went straight to my ears. It feels like so much pressure and when I blow my nose or sneeze I can HEAR noise and its gross. Like theres water in my hear squirting. Dont tell me what it is, I know, dont want to get too graphic. I cannot even sleep with this pressure in my ear and wondered if anyone every experienced this from a cold. Its the first time I've ever had this problem in my ear but I did get an ear infection during a cold before but didn't feel any pressure or hear anything. I just want it to go away as it feels like something is covering my eardrum. I am all self conscious because when I go out I cannot hear in this left ear and I do not know if Im not speaking loud enough when talking to people. And its embarassing having to explain myself. My ear is getting a slight pain now and its like a pulling feeling. How can I drain my ear out by myself because I do not even have a primary care physician. If it gets worse I will have to go to the emergency center (its a 24 hour center for the college kids on campus, not the hospital)
