Remedy for earache from plane travel during descent?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"equalization"!: Equalizing your ears, early and often, is the secret. During descent, as with diving to the bottom of a pool, the surrounding air (or water) pressure increases, putting a "squeeze" on your middle ear, and other air spaces. "popping" your ears, way before you feel any pressure, and continuing every few minutes during descent will be a big help.
