Doctors point out that patients with allergic rhinitis have poor eustachian tube function.

If there is otitis media, when the plane takes off and lands, the eustachian tube cannot play the function of balancing pressure, and the nasal discharge in the middle ear cavity will rush to the eardrum, which may cause rupture.

He has a history of allergic rhinitis.

The doctor explained that the outer ear is separated from the middle ear by the eardrum, and the eustachian tube connects the middle ear cavity and the nasal cavity at the end, allowing each other to communicate.

Once allergic rhinitis patients catch a cold, it is easier to cause otitis media, the main reason is that the eustachian tube function of such patients is poor, and nasal discharge is easy to accumulate in the middle ear cavity, forming otitis media.

Avoid water for three months.

Doctors pointed out that if patients with otitis media take a plane, the cabin pressure changes sharply when taking off and landing, the eustachopharyngeal tube can not play the function of balancing pressure changes, the middle ear cavity will bear excessive pressure, the accumulation of mucus, pus and other fluids, may rush to the eardrum, resulting in the eardrum rupture, affecting hearing.

Chew gum to reduce bloating.

Patients with cold and otitis media feel ear swelling when the plane takes off and lands.

Therefore, holding the nose with the hand and blowing after the mouth is closed will increase the pressure in the ear, causing the eardrum to rupture.

It is recommended that such patients can take antihistamine, vasoconstrictor and other drugs at the doctor's instruction one hour before taking the plane before traveling.

Or chew gum and swallow water during takeoff and landing to relieve the stuffy ear.

Precautions for preventing ear drum rupture during flight.

If the patient is traveling for a long time, he can take antihistamine, blood constrictor and other drugs before taking the plane under the instructions of the doctor.

Allergic rhinitis, cold, otitis media patients when taking the plane, if the ear stuffy, do not pinch the nose with the hand, blow air, to avoid excessive pressure in the ear, eardrum rupture.
