Ear/Eye air pressure in the plane?

Question

My right ear is like, I dunno blocked by earwax or something and I had them flushed but it went bad again. :(

I heard that theres air pressure on both sides of the eardrum but is it possible for air presure to make it up to your eye?

Because I felt a really bad pain by my eyes and it hurt. It was like, I was getting an injection on my eye or my cheeks. And I dunno if it was air pressure or not.

Im supposed to go on the plane again next week but to go somewhere different, and Im afraid it might happen again.

Answer 1

I'm not a doctor (nor do I play one on TV), but it sounds like it could be a sinus infection.  Before you fly I would speak to a doctor.  I was warned by mine once that I shouldn't fly if I couldn't plug my nose and make my ears "pop" by exhaling.  More importantly though, the pressure changes can make the pain of a sinus infection pretty extreme.

Good luck and safe travels!
