Answers:    For take-offs and landings (the WHOLE mode up, and starting from the BEGINNING, or TOP of descent), the best ways to alleviate ear pressure are to:



*Chew gum

*Drink something

*Suck on a hard candy or mints

*Yawn

*Pinch the nostrils shut, pinch a deep breath within through the mouth, then force the upper air into the back of the proboscis (gently) as if trying to blow your nose

*Place hot humidify towels (usually like the ones distributed to first and business class formerly take-off and landing to freshen up with - basically ask a flight attendant for them) or paper towels that own been soaked contained by hot water and wrung out at the bottom of two newspaper or styrofoam cups, then hold the cups over the ears.

*Another trick that used essentially on babies and small children, but can be used on anyone, is to gently but next to some pressure, rub your neck repeatedly from the chin to the underside of the neck. This will raison d`¨ētre a swallowing motion that will relieve pressure build-up in the ears.




You can also try using a decongestant. It is other best to check with your doctor back using any type of medications though, to product sure you are using the one best suited to your needs. I intuitively have found torment relief medication don't really help general public, and at least contained by my experience, decongestants are a waste of money.

If I can be of any more abet or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
