I have had airplane ears since i got off my flight yesterday, and nothing is helping.?

Question

I tryed popping my ears but only my right ear unclogs. I tryed chewing gum and yawning ect. Is their somethign else i can do?

Answer 1

Plug your nose, and hold your breath (like you are going under water) then "try" to blow air out through your nose.  Works for me every time!

Answer 2

Oh you poor thing :(

Try having a strong mint which will clear your nose completely, then drink a glass of water. If you've had a blocked nose (even if it's just a single nostril) it will stop your eustachian tube clearing and leave you with that "clogged" feeling.

Short of that, consult a doctor or a pharmacist who may recommend a nasal decongestant or something.

There's nothing worse though, you have my empathy. It took days before my ear popped after a flight from Melbourne to London.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Take a deep breath and drink a glass of water.
