Recently, Dr. Aditij Dhamijam, a surgeon in India, shared a worrying story on his personal account about a 27-year-old man who is in this condition.
According to Dr. Dhamijam, this man boarded the flight with a mild cold and allergy. However, when the plane took off, he had a severe ear injury and a ruptured wardrobe immediately.
"The sudden change in pressure in the air hold caused his air vulture to clog, causing difficulty balancing pressure," Dr. Dhamijam explained.
The accumulated pressure caused his peripheral hearing to tear, causing severe pain and possibly leading to permanent hearing loss. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to restore hearing.
Risk of duodenal perforation when flying
Dr. Nayan K. Shetty - an ENT surgeon at Wockhardt Hospital Mumbai Central (India) - has explained this condition.
Dr. Shetty says ear pain on the flying surface is not uncommon. In severe cases, rapid changes in pressure in the aircraft can cause operands to punctured.
Sudden changes in pressure during takeoff and landing cause an imbalance of pressure in the ear.
When the wardines have difficulty adjusting their pressure, severe pain can occur and even cause torn wardines.
Factors that increase the risk of duodenal perforation
Some factors can increase the risk of operatedatedated peripheral Lai, especially when suffering from colds, duodenal infections or allergies. Clogged ears due to these causes will make it difficult to regulate ear pressure.
Squeezing your nose too hard, using excessive force to wink or fly while you have an untreated ear infection can increase the likelihood of peritoneal peristalsis, says Dr. Shetty.
Simple precautions
To minimize the risk of this condition, experts recommend some simple but effective measures.
"Squeezing, stewing or chewing gum can help keep the eyes open, allowing better air circulation. Another technique is the Valsalva movement (light breathing while covering your nose and mouth) which can also help relieve pain," Dr. Shetty instructed.
In addition, using nasal spray or nasal spray before flying can help clear the nose and promote better pressure balance.
Dr. Shetty also emphasizes that staying hydrated, using ear tips to adjust specialized pressures, and avoiding taking a plane when experiencing severe nasal congestion will further reduce the risk of ear problems.
