How To Relieve An Earache Caused By Flying

I fly more than 100 flights a year for work, and these are all good suggestions, but for some with small eustacian(sp?) tubes, these won't be enough. I always travel with a product called EarPlanes. You can find them in most of the airport magazine shops. They look like ear plugs, but they have a tiny ceramic cylindar inside them that moves in and out with the air pressure. The movement gives you a little bit of "lag" time to pressurize your ears.

Try to yawn! This should help a lot. Even if you´re not tired, if you pretend yawning a few times you will feel relieved.

I don't just get earaches; I feel like my ear/head is going to explode! I asked my doc to recommend something but he couldn't. Everytime I fly, I end up crying my eyes ourt for the last 20 minutes of the flight...any help/suggestions?

you might look a bit silly doing that.. I put on my ear plugs and chew gum which helps to generate saliva that when swallowed relieves pain

i chew gum and blow through my nose by pinching my nose....

wear flight ear plugs and it wont happen..

sip water on the plane or swallow. When you are taking off or landing, swallow every minute or so.

Usually what I do is swallow some saliva and the earache will be relieved, but it wont work if you have a cold.
