Ear drops for kids ear pain in flight
Hi Doctor,
My son of 6.5 years age, had got severe pain in ear and also on major portion of one side of face during domestic flight.
He rarely had pain while flying, those he had also were easily bearable to him.
Only difference I can tell is he had moderate cold with some stuffy nose.
He was crying with what seemed as unbearable pain, and we tried to use all ways which cabin crew mentioned but he wasn't even able to follow instructions that time or if he tried still didn't improve pain.
He will have to again travel with in 2 weeks time, and we are worried how to reduce his pain or stop it from coming.
Any suggestion, or medicine/drops which can prevent/reduce pain for him?
Thank you.

Its very common problem in children and adults when they fly with common cold or nasal blockage. So my advise is to see an ENT doc next time before taking flight. He/She can give u nasal spray which will help
