How to prevent ear pain on airplane?
Every time I fly, my ears start hurting so badly during landing, it's unbearable. My next flight is a long one. Is there anything specific I can do to prevent ear pain on an airplane?

It's really uncomfortable, I know. Try chewing gum during takeoff and landing, it helps a lot with the pressure changes. Or maybe yawning wide sometimes.
Hey! Ear pain on flights is super common na. 😅 I always carry earplugs made for flying, they work wonders! Also, try to stay hydrated. Safe travels! ✈️
Yes, this happens to many people. My trick is to buy a packet of candies and keep sucking on them during ascent and descent. The constant swallowing really helps equalize the pressure. Cheaper than special earplugs also.
Oh man, the first few times I flew, I used to panic thinking my ears would burst! But then I learned to just yawn a lot or do that 'Valsalva maneuver' where you pinch your nose and gently blow. It actually normalises it.
Been there, it's so annoying! I tried everything from cotton balls to ear drops. What genuinely helped me was drinking water continuously during takeoff and landing, small sips. And sometimes just pinching your nose and blowing out gently helps pop the ears.

For mild pain, chewing gum or yawning can really make a difference. If you have a cold or congestion, it can get worse, so maybe a decongestant spray before flying. But if the pain is severe or lasts long after landing, do check with a doctor, don't ignore it.
Haan, haan, this ear pain business on flights is like a reminder that we are not meant to fly, only birds are. 😂 Seriously though, I just chew some elaichi or saunf, it makes me swallow more, and helps a bit with the pressure. Aur thoda aaram bhi mil jaata hai.
