Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this situation, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me what precautions need to be taken when flying with a baby?Doctor's answer:
Takeoff and landing can be said to be the most difficult times for infants to adapt to. The sudden change in pressure often causes an imbalance between the external and internal pressures of the Eustachian tube, which connects the throat to the middle ear. Obviously, reducing the number of takeoffs and landings also reduces the child's risk factor. Therefore, it is best to choose a flight that can reach the destination directly.Additionally, the best way to alleviate an infant's discomfort on a plane is to let them suck on a pacifier or drink from a bottle, using sucking to balance the internal and external air pressure in the tubes. If a pacifier is not available, you can also let the child suck on a candy or have something to drink, which can also help reduce discomfort.
