I have a left muffled ear with air bubbles/cracks under my left ear in the parotid area that crackle when I puff my cheeks. I have been on prednisone for a week, but I am not sure if it's helping. What could be causing this and how should I treat it?

My IV with heparin was right above where they drew blood. My INR came back high (2.2, yesterday it was 1.51 and I’ve been on Coumadin 5mg for a week now). Should I repeat the INR on the side that didn’t have heparin, would that affect it? That seems like a big jump in INR.
