Plugged Ears?

I've had a cold for over a week now, and my ears have been very slightly plugged. But on Saturday (April 5) my left ear got really plugged. It hasn't gotten any better, and my ear doesn't hurt, and when I clean them there is no nasty infectious stuff on the q-tip. (I clean them very carefully too, as always.)

I'm just wondering how long will it be until my ear isn't plugged anymore??

Thanks in advance!!

Update:

It's been just over a week (About a week and 2 days) and my ear is feeling better now. Still a bit plugged but nearly as much... I guess my sinuses are finally starting to drain lol.

    When they get infected it is usually on the other side of the ear drum. Not the part the Q tip can get to. If it doesn't get better soon, I'd have the Dr. take a look.
