Most people experience ear pain during takeoff or landing that cause discomfort. Find out how to deal with ear pain while traveling by plane.
Disorders that occur in the ear when using transport aircraft because of an unbalanced pressure between the ear drum. A person will feel the blockage or ear drum which closes when the plane would land.
In the human ear, there is little space in the middle ear behind the eardrum, which is normally filled with air. This air space is connected to the back of the nose via a small canal called the eustachian tube. The air on both sides of the eardrum is due to the same pressure in order to create a good atmosphere for listening. If this balance is altered, it have ear problems.
When the plane lands, the air pressure is higher, so the eardrum pushed inwards and inflict pain or ear as budek. The only way to return to normal was to raise the pressure in the ear, quickly.
When the plane lands, the air pressure is higher, so the eardrum pushed inwards and inflict pain or as outlandish. The only way to get back to normal to increase the pressure in the middle ear quickly.
There are several ways you can do to overcome the pain in the ear when traveling by plane, namely:
1. If you have an allergy or upper respiratory tract infection, you should seek a recommendation from a doctor to take decongestan drug. Because of these conditions cause blockage in the eustachian tube. Consumption of this drug 45 minutes before the plane took off, so allow time for treatment to work.
2. Take and chew gum during takeoff and landing. This will help keep the eustachian tube stays open and help normalize pressure around the ear drum.
3. If no chewing gum can be a way to cover your nose with your hands and mouth, then try to blow air out of the nose without letting go of hands that hold my nose.
4. If the long distance flight, ensure wake from the dream before the aircraft landed by Eustachian tube will not stay open during sleep.
5. Try to continue to drink or swallow every second.
6.Try using good earplugs made of foam or cotton, because this tool will keep the pressure so as not to disturb the balance in the ear drum.
7. Try to avoid flights if you have the flu, because it will facilitate the blockage in the eustachian tube and make it difficult to breathe.
8. In some cases, and rarely occur, sometimes ear pain still feels despite being removed from the plane. It is not the result of small blood vessels in the ear to rupture, causing swellin.
