My ears hurt when I fly on airlines?

Answer 1

This due to changes in air pressure as you go up and down. For relief pop a sweet or candy snack in just before take off and swallow your saliva several times while actually going up. Because the tubes in the ear passage the naval cavity are connected the swallowing action relieves the pressure. Of course if you are having intense pain and bleeding, you probably need to see a doctor before your next flight.

Answer 2

They shouldn't hurt. It means that your eustacian tubes (the tube that connects your ear to yout throat are clogged. Next time you fly, try using the "compensating" technique divers use. Hold you nose and mouth shut and blow. This should equalize pressure between your middle ear and outer ear. Do not blow too hard though because you can blow out a little oval opening that has a membrane on it on your inner ear (It's called the some thing window but I am senile this morning and can't remember what it is).

Answer 3

The air pressure is forcing your ears to pop. Chewing or yawning usually helps (I rarely get on a plane without a pack of gum), and so does pinching your nose shut, closing your mouth and trying to blow air out of your nose until your ears pop.

If they still hurt long after the flight, go to a doctor. You may have an ear infection.

Answer 4

Does he take a pacifier? which will do the trick. Did you call the airline bearing directly to the formulation concern? That sounds thoroughly ludicrous to me. it type of sounds like they could desire to permit you carry the powder in a sealed field, like purchase a sparkling can of it and not open it until you get on the airplane, and an empty bottle, after which ask between the flight attendants for warmth water to combination it with. How long is the flight? i could throw an absolute in good shape whether that's longer than 2 hours...toddlers could consume!!

Answer 5

Buy some barley sugar or other hard sweets. Whenever you have one in your mouth, you will swallow regularly. This helps maintain equilibrium in the pressure in the inner ears, and stop the ear ache.

Answer 6

Do a lot of swallowing...it helps counter the "ear-popping" effect....which is simply caused by the change of air-pressure as you go up in altitude.

Answer 7

Everyone else gave you the bubble gum/candy solution so I'm gonna try something different ;)
Bring a few q-tips with you and use them, they will force your ear to pop.

Answer 8

Don't fly on airlines

Answer 9

Altitude change causes pressure. Chew gum. Doing so will produce saliva. Swallowing your saliva will made your ears pop and you will feel better.

Answer 10

Bubblegum never does it for me. Bring (sugar free) hard candy with you for the swallowing.... then keep yawning when the pressure in the ears still develops.
