Patient's question:
Medical history and treatment effectiveness:Once, during the New Year, I wanted to take a plane home. Can a 20-month-old child fly?
What kind of help do you care about:
Can a 20-month-old girl sit on a plane?
Doctor's answer:
Small babies should not be overfed, and they should not have high fever. Their nasal passages must be clear. Due to the rapid ascent to high altitudes and landing of airplanes, it is advisable to change diapers or water for the baby, allowing his sucking motion to keep the eardrum clear. This can help digest the water and ensure the eardrum gets movement, thereby achieving pressure balance between the nasal cavity and middle ear. The return flight and landing are arguably the most difficult times for babies to recover. Sudden changes in pressure often cause an imbalance in the external and internal pressures of the tube connecting the throat to the middle ear.
