✈️ Preventing Ear Problems During Travel
Experiencing clogged or painful ears during flights? Sudden air pressure changes can affect the middle ear. To ease discomfort:
✅ Try swallowing, chewing gum, or yawning during take-off and landing
✅ For infants—let them breastfeed or bottle-feed
✅ If you have a cold or sinus congestion, consider nasal saline rinses or decongestants (as advised by your doctor)
✅ Seek medical consult if pain persists
Safe travels and healthy ears!
