Yesterday while going upstate my ears were popping and it hurt. should i go see an ent before i go on a plane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No..: My ears pop all the time when I have changes in elevation, go up a fast elevator, fly in a plane. It doesn't mean anything is wrong. When you get on your airplane, chew some gum. It helps, the pop, even if uncomfortable only lasts a second.
