Ears hurting bad from altitude change. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drink liquids : One of the ways to encourage the opening of the eustachian tube to equalize pressure is to swallow or yawn. If your heart is healthy enough, try some sudafed. If it still won't clear up after several days, see an ENT who can lance your ear drum to equalize the pressure.
