specialist that may help you. It talks about a type of ear plug 'EarPlanes' which is supposed to stop ear pain whilst flying.
We have never used it as despite our son's respiritory & ENT problems from birth (had T&A out and grommets put in back in Feb)flying doesn't seem to bother him. I always get him checked a few days before we go to make sure he is all clear. If any sign of any 'congestion' etc.. he gets treated with antibiotics or whatever else is needed.
The sheet also lists some steps that can be taken to try and stop the symptoms.
I will leave my email open and if you are interested in the leaflet I will see if I can scan it at my husbands work or otherwise I can post you a copy.
Before anyone else comments on me not being a MD, I am not giving you medical advice for your children, just letting you know that I was given this info sheet and am happy to send on to you if you would like and you can then perhaps discuss with your Dr or chemist.
Cheers!
