I was on a plane today and my ears hurt and keep popping. And...?

Question

And it feels like there's water in my ears, even though there's not. And it's harder to hear. Ans when I swallow my ears pop. What do I do?

Answer 1

this happened to me when i went to aruba, it only happened once though, it hurt for the rest of the day and there was really nothing i could do about it, but once i woke up the next morning the pain was gone.

Answer 2

This happends due to altitude change.  I chew gum or take some Advil if they hurt.  Other than that it should go away by tomorrow.

Answer 3

hello there!

well, during take off and landing there are quite extreme pressure changes, and the tension on the ear goes up and down.

what you can do is a simple thing that may help -

blow to a closed mouth' and against closed nose trills.

repeat after few minutes, but not with too much of an effort.

good luck!
