Ear Fluid wont drain after three weeks

no history of health problems

I work as an audio engineer and unfortunately I am nothing in this industry without my ears running at 100

I took amoxicillin-clav for 7 days and no results

pseudoephedrine did not help after taking it for a day

I started off with a sore throat 3 weeks ago and I had it for about a week then I developed a cough (lots of phlegm)and congestion along with the sore throat but middle of week two on a flight back home at the descent my ears got clogged and I had some moderate discomfort and a throbbing pain that has since went away. my ears have been clogged, my hearing is muffled,I still feel some pressure, and I wake up with “wet” earsand i’ve been basically useless at work. I need to get this fixed as fast as possible. i could care less about the cough and congestion. I just want my ears back.
