Denise91980

Cher....the same thing happened last year to FI on our way home from California...He was in agony the whole plane ride home because of his ears and he was feeling sick.

Cher I feel your pain.  Ever since that happened to me I always make sure to chew gum like a cow whenever we take off and land. 

cher1980

Denise really! I never had that happen to me or any problems - but i was like omfg! it was horrible! and this morning i dont know what else to do...Caketime - I was! lol - i think i annoyed the girl next to me !I just told my friend about it and she said she had to go to the dr to get her ear popped...i hope it goes away today but if it doesnt, ill be calling my dr tomorrow..anyone recommend doing anything?  She also told me about these - http://www.cirrushealthcare.com/EarPlanes-C8.aspxbut i think a dr has to prescribe them - i may ask for them cuz i fly alot.and this is horrible

Wow!  Maybe you should call a doc and go this afternoon, don't want anything bad to happen.

Denise91980

Oh yeah!!! He was miserable for like 2 days after we got home. Eventually they did pop on their own though. I normally get sinus pressure from the plane which effects my ears, jaw and cheek....but I was actually OK for that plane ride...It was him that was miserable.

cher1980

yea - since i have the day off anyway (i consider working from home off lol)...hubby will be pissed if im sick on his favorite holiday LOLok calling dr

here and working, trying to finish up too many things before the weekend. Cher-NOt sure if I am going to explain this right but hold your breath and your nose as tight as you can and while doing this attempt to push air out of your nose. you should feel pressure in your ears and usually feel them pop. Usually takes me two or three times to get them to fully pop but always feel so much better after.

I had a thing where it felt like my ear wouldnt pop for 3 weeks or so.  My doctor recommended mucinex.  You may want to try something like that.

cher1980

ooh i have mucinex - but i took excedrine - maybe i should wait?ok future mrs - thats gonna hurt! ok trying! lol

ffbride_0813

Thats what the doctor told me.  Truth be told I have no idea what cleared my ears up.  I took the mucinex forever and after 10 days my ears were still clogged up.  Then all of a sudden one day it got better.  I was also on antibiotics in case it was an ear infection.  I was taking too much to actually see what helped but its worth a try until you see a doctor.

FutureMrsF111

It definately hurts but it in the end is worth it.....Im all about mucinex too.

Denise91980

a steroid would probably work too...but I don't know how you feel about that...I know for myself and FMIL when this happens (not plane related) we are put on prednisone....works like a charm

cherylanddan0706

Cher just be careful, I wasn't on a plane previously, but last year I had a lot of ear issues, to be honest I suggest just going to the docs and seeing what they say.

Future's suggestion usually works for me, but don't blow out your nose too hard! Make sure you do it gently, or you run the risk of really doing damage. It works best if I let am itsy bit of air out of my nose.

cher1980

yea i remember you talking about that cheryl - ill def get it checked out!

Good morning girls - I can't wait for this week to ve over- my feet are killing me with blisters from wearing heels and walking around the city all day long! Ugh. Now I just went to a presentation for my company and had to give a little speech in front of a room full of hot guys. Lol I love my FI but god, that still makes me nervous lol!
