Pain in the EAR!!


7.05 am. My flight from kL to Btu. So early yet it allows me to rest more and it cost cheaper. This is the second time that I suffered from "Airplane Ear" - the symptom which the pressure trap inside the ear and it realllllllllyyyyyyy hurt. The first time is some time ago when I am just 2 month working. After back from the first nightmare trip, I involve in one of the HSE session so I shoot the question right away and the doctor gave a few tips :

1. swallowing saliva
2. yawning
3. eating candies or chewing gums.

with one warning : do not hold your nose and blow as that might burst your eardrum.

Today, the same nightmare happens. I start to applying the tips. Swallowing saliva - not working, too dry in the plane. Yawning - it is not easy to yawn unnaturally. Eating chewing gum - since the first incident, I always bring along with me mentos gum but unfortunately it doesn't help as well.

Aside from the nose blowing, i dont have anymore alternative for the upcoming trip. aaaaaaaaa!! help!
