Adults and older children can prevent earaches by trying some of these suggestions:
- If you are prone to the buildup of earwax, speak to your doctor about over-the-counter wax-removal products.
- Take a decongestant prior to takeoff or descent to help prevent ears from clogging when you fly. Follow the manufacturer's directions or call your physician for the dosage amount.
- Avoid flying when experiencing a cold.
- Stay away from cigarette smoke.
- If allergies are causing earaches, try antihistamines and avoid the pollens, animals, or foods that bring on the allergic reactions.
