What can I do to not get pain in my ears while flying?


Travel Info
I get popping and pain in my ears while flying. I've tried the extra strong sudafed but it just eases the pain a little.

Travel Tips
the cabin pressure pushes your eardrums in.. (try to see the juice cover )
before flying make sure to clean your ears(ear canal) first..

Others
Chew gun, and keep chewing. Trying to yawn helps my ears sometimes.

Good Luck, that can hurt BAD!
As soon as the cabin begins to pressurize, try holding your nostrils closed with your hands and try to blow out of your nose. Do this occasionally during the flight and especially on descent.
A frequent flyer.
Buy some over the counter nose drops or spray like Afrin and use right before you embark. Chew gum. Suck on Hall's cough drops. Just keep your sinus passages clear. Do you know how to val-salva. ? That is clear your eustachian tubes. You do that by holding your breath and pinching your nostrils shut. Then blow. (But keep your mouth shut). Your ears will clear. The flight attendant can demonstrate.
Take a decongestant before the fight. Chew gum.
Use some nasal spray
