A member asked:
I suffer from a very severe ear pain during flights & recently developed hay allergy, could bruxism be the reason, i use nightguard already.

Bruxism: Bruxism can cause severe ear pain, the added anxiety of a flight can make you clench your teeth further. Wear your nightguard when flying. It has no relation to hay fever.

Congestion: Allergies, sinuous congestion and ear problems while flying are frequent occurrences. Try decongestants and a nasal spray before you fly.
