I am flying up to the chn's hospital at the other end of the country on Saturday morning...about 37 hours away and counting...and I have major earache. I have been told it sounds like a bad ear infection so I booked in with the doc (1st and only appt I could get is 3.15pm tomorrow), and I am so worried about the pain that I am likely to experience. It is bad enough on this flight (and it takes 2 planes to get there), but with 2 young chn in tow who also have a few issues when landing I am starting to get extremely anxious. Does anyone know of any way to help out sore ears on a plane? I am considering dosing up well with codeine before I go...and getting as much help as I can from my wonderful/helpful/caring/understanding doc!!
