Constant left ear pressure

For about 6 years now I have had constant left ear pressure that has gotten worse. I would describe the feeling as constantly having to 'pop' my left ear. I also experience some ringing, but nothing to extreme.  I have been to a few doctors, all of which told me nothing was wrong and that my ear looks fine. One doctor also tested me for mono but that came back negative. This past year, the left cheek has become slightly swollen and and a few lymph nodes in the left side of my neck are also inflamed.  I have tried allergy medications, decongestants and antibiotics and nothing helps.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need to see an ENT specialist for this problem, if you haven't already.  Simple tests can be done to better diagnose your problem and suggest possible treatments.  Otherwise, your symptoms are too vague at this point to indicate anything specific.
