I flew recently(and I am flying again this weekend) and upon descent, my right ear blocked up. I tried everything to unblock it....but it stayed blocked and i started to feel quite ill. Once landed my ear was unblocked but I still felt a bit ill.
I went to the chemist the next day and told them about my situation and I was given some cold and flu tablets (she said they would clear all my passages and my ears would not block again)
I'm just wondering if there's anything else I can do to avoid this happening next time. I've flown many times and I've never had a problem before. A freind who flew and had extreme head pains takes a sinus tablet before flying.
Does anyone have any ideas/hints? It really would be appreciated.
thanks
