Patient's question:
During the flight, changing the cabin pressure can cause a temporary change in ear pressure. Is there anything to pay attention to when children fly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you: Changing cabin pressure during flight can cause temporary changes in ear pressure, leading to ear pain. To balance the pressure in your baby's ears, you can give them a pacifier to suck on during takeoff and landing. Try to schedule feeding times so that your baby feels hungry when it's time to eat. If your baby has had ear surgery or an ear infection in the past two weeks, ask your doctor if it's safe to fly.
