Flying with a swollen inner ear?

Need Ear Plugs, Allergies/Sinus, and Flying Help?

• I'm flying to Orlando on Monday and have been suffering with allergies/sinus my doctor just presribed me Singulair but suggested that I get some ear plugs. I wanted to know which ones are the best I saw the Ear Planes and some other silicone type that you put on the outside of the ear hole. I also tried to "pop" my ears holding my nose and closing my mouth and blowing hard but only one ear (my right) pops how can I pop my left? Do you think I should also drop the Singulair and take the "real" sudifed?

• Answer:

  I use Ear Planes and find that they really help. Also, you need to take a strong decongestant before the flight.
