A 2 lemon, plus horse radish combo fruit juice with a liitle pepper and ginger sprinkled in will definitely help, (before the dive) but it's a little strong. You could mix in some carrots or apples to sweeten it but not too much. Also stay free of milk products, sweets and fried foods a couple of days before diving, and no eating just before going to bed, all this helps to reduce mucous. The fact that one ear is stickier than another is very common. Try stretching your neck on the sticky ear's side while you equalize, sometimes that helps out.
