Having Ear Problem. Specifically Eustachian Tube Dysfunction. What Can Be Done To Minimize The Pain?
I'm planning on flying from MN to FL in a couple months, and I have had ear problems for the last few years. Specifically eustachian tube dysfunction. I haven't really been on a plane since, and I'm wondering what I can do to minimize the pain that comes with this, and will this cause motion sickness. Also, if I took Dramamine as a precaution would this be bad for me at all? (As far as I know I'm not one who is prone to motion sickness.)
