Many years ago I used to fly and would have a TERRIBLE time with my ears hurting for a day or two each time after each flight landed. Absolutely hated the thought of flying. Chewing gum was the only remedy and that WAS NOT much help. What meds if any are available today for ear relief?

Ears Hurting.

:banger: I was told to take a Decongestant or a Benedryl. My nose and ears would always stop up and i would get one hell of a headache. It has worked for the last three years.

I have the same problem so thanks for the help with this. My ears would pop and I couldnt hear for an hour off the plane. I wear headphones now and listen to music, havent had a problem but I will try some of the above.

My ears would hurt to the point of tears when I fly, only on the incline and decline. I plug my nose w/ my hand and blow slowly to keep constant pressure in my ears. it helps.

Is it related to having plugged ears? I've always have issues with that. This they are related?

I know exactly what you're saying.
