Why Ear and Head Pain When on an Airplane?

If we want to travel by planes, would have imagined how it felt when it was in the space. Well, what if the plane when we actually feel uncomfortable because of the ears and head hurt so even as it heads going to explode?

Is this situation normal?
This situation is called Tubal occlusion or blockage in the fallopian tubes in the ears.Eustachian tubal / Eusthacian tube is a channel that starts from the middle ear and ends behind the base of the nose or throat area. This channel serves to balance the air pressure in the middle ear and outside air pressure. When the pressure difference then this channel will open and let air into the middle ear so that the pressure to be balanced.






Can occur when the pressure difference?
If we want to get on a plane, when the aircraft was about to take off or landing or when the plane up and down in the air, our ears will feel like a full or a dead end or a little less heard, this is caused by pressure difference as before. Usually we will immediately respond to swallow that our hearing became normal again. By swallowing this will cause the tube opened and outside air can enter the middle ketelinga.In some people with disorders of the eustachian Tuba or in people who just got a flu / cold will be difficult to balance the pressure (at the time of the aircraft in the air) so that no air can enter the middle ear and middle ear resulted in a vacuum, in circumstances such as these channels the tube was going to respond by reducing the middle ear space and surrounding tissue in order to attract a bit of pressure balance, and this response that causes incredible pain as the head would burst. 


What's the solution?
At a certain orang2 with disorders of the fallopian tubes or the flu again, if you want to get on a plane should use nose drops that serves to open the fallopian tubes, the time before departure (or can be by oral decongestant drugs / drink), how to dribble on the right nasal and left, having dropped the head should be tilted in the same direction for about 5 minutes, so when the right nasal drops, then head tilted to the right to enter the ear fluid. When on the plane over 8 hours, can be repeated in this way and done in the plane.In order to open a continuous tube, multiply swallowed, one simple way is to suck candy, because candy would come out hard and then inevitably we will swallow hard before.Therefore, before the plane would take off flight attendants will distribute candy, sometimes sweets were distributed by flight attendants are considered part of the service and immediately cepat2 spent before the plane take off, but ideally before dikulum pelan2 candy during the trip so we swallowed continuously.

Another way is to evaporate, because when we yawn, the air will come out of the ear, so the pressure will be maintained.Specials on anak2 or babies do not need ears covered with cotton (many in this way advise the parents) but enough to be drinking a lot at the time of the aircraft in the air, as the swallow, the tube will be open continuously. Covered their ears with cotton to be ineffective to overcome tubal occlusion in children, this is only useful way to reduce aircraft noise. So when a plane carrying a small child and the child started to fuss should be made to drink water or milk, since she might have had tubal occlusion.
