What happens if i have stage 3 microtia can i ride an airplane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Microtia: Yes, patients with microtia can fly on airplanes. Patients may have similar pressure symptoms at non microtia patients. If you experience this, consider nasal spray or oral decongestants. Confirm with your doctor first if these are safe medications, as you would need to consider their effects on your cardiovascular system and blood pressure.
