I've been told that taking decongestant tablets is a good way to prevent earache. Take one the day before flying, one on the day and one the day after.

i only feel sick if i sit in the middle row of the 'plane. Either side and i'm fine :unsure:
as for the ears, it's interesting to see the decongestant idea.
i tried everything you're supposed to try, sucking sweets, chewing gum, yawning, holding my nose and trying to pop my ears....nothing worked. the pain was almost unbearable so thank goodness i only had it a couple of times.
yep!Quote:

They are a bit funny to get used to at first but so much better than the agony I suffered before.
I've also heard that having a hopii candle treatment a few days can help as it draws the wax from your ears to reduce the problems.
