Experiencing intense ear pain during air travel is a common, yet distressing, issue. Sanne recounts a particularly tough flight where her ears felt blocked as the plane ascended, leading to important discomfort that persisted throughout the journey. The pain intensified during descent, leaving her with diminished hearing and a severe earache upon landing. To compound her troubles, she fell ill the following day, which sadly impacted her ability to enjoy her trip to Vienna and made the return flight even more unpleasant.
fortunately, a simple solution was found for the return journey. A teacher at the airport recommended a nasal spray, which proved to be highly effective. Upon landing in the Netherlands, Sanne’s ears popped open with a forceful, albeit painful, sensation. As this experience, she has made it a practice to always use nasal spray before flying to prevent similar discomfort.
