A member asked:
If you have ear pressure after a flight and it stayed for a day what should you do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few things: You can try using oxymetazoline nose spray for 1-2 days to decongest the eustachian tube. Try also pinching your nose and blowing (bearing down) to try to pop your ears. It should go away over time, but you should see a doctor if it hurts, or hearing worsens.
