A member asked:
Can i fly with fluid in my ear due to allergies? i don't have an ear ache. i can't stand nasal sprays... are there plugs or pills i can use instead?

Fly with ear fluid.: Technically you can, but you may be very uncomfortable at altitude with bad earaches, or you may even rupture an eardrum. If you can’t use the nasal sprays, you can try to dry out the ears with an OTC antihistamine, but I’d start it at least one week before you leave.
