Posted on Jan 13, 2009 | Comments 2
Air travel for people with sinus infection and cold can be quite hard and painful to experience.
Even if you don’t have sinus infection, if you travel by air regularly, you are more likely to develop sinus infections further in life.
Here are few steps that you have to follow while traveling by air to prevent serious sinus problems.
- Use decongestants
- Try chewing gum
- Use earplanes
- Drink enough water
Actually, most of the doctors suggest not traveling by air when you have serious sinus infections or ear infections. But, if it is compulsory for you to travel, try to use decongestants before taking flight to overcome the problems of air blockage in ear and nose.
It is believed that chewing gum or swallowing something frequently during ascent and decent of flight can help you to get better relief from sinus. Try it once and notice the difference.
Earplanes are the devices used by most of pilots to get relief from blocked ears and nose. You can use these ear plugs to make the changes in air pressure milder for you and they also help to alleviate severe discomfort of sinus while traveling.
Ensure that you drink enough water prior getting into flight. This helps you to retain your body moisture and keep your nasal cavities moist as much as possible.

hey. I just now stumbled on this amazing blog page plus I should really believe that this amazing is a wonderful post. Thx pertaining to this excellent data.
It is very essential for sinusitis sufferers to take precautions before air travel ..I got my septolplasty surgery after which I developed a complication of nasal septum infection….that was really painful …..I would suggest that usage of mask(after removal of nasal packs) is really necessary after septoplasty ….Had i taken this precaution I wouldn’t have to suffer this pain….And after 2-3 months,when the healing had started and I started feeling better ….I again did a mistake…I didn’t use mask during air travel and neither decongestant before take off….And I am going through the same pain again….I would suggest every sinusitis sufferer the usage of mask in the plane and decongestant before take off
