Ear Blockage on Flight

Asked for Male, 6 years

I have to travel with my 4 month old baby soon via airplane, I am worried about ear blockage issue which occurs on the flight. She is already having congestion and scratches her ears often. What should I do to avoid Ear blockage on a flight? Can I put cotton in her ears before taking off? Or what should I do if it happens?

Dear Patient,

Firstly please get her ears seen by a child specialist. A child with an ear infection would be a nightmare during travel.
Secondly, try nursing/feeding the child to take off and landing. This would help prevent ear blockage. The cotton may not help as ear blockage is due to pressure changes.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best General Physicians in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
