Flying Saturday - Help earache and catarrgh!

[Fairycakewithsprinkles]

Have a short flight to sunny Spain this weekend coming.

I also have had a headcold a few weeks back and been left with sinus pain in face and forehead. I dont feel blocked up in my nose but obviously am in my head iykwim.

Started a course of anti biotics last Friday which finish on Thirsday night. I am inhaling steamy olbas oil but most mornings I am still waking with a forehead headache and ear ache.

Last night I drove 5 hours and every hill I drove up and down mad emy ears pop. This has now made me worried about flying on Saturday.

Anyone have any advice on what I can do to not make the flight so painful on my ears? Anything I can take, or do to try and clear this before the weekend?

(have also posted this is general health as was not sure which was the best one)

Oh dear, I would definitely expect the whole ears thing to be a lot worse than usual if you have a head cold & sinus pain. Hopefully your antibiotics will have worked by then though to stop the sinus trouble. Would recommend either asking GP or pharmacist if a steroid nasal spray would help you, if you don't already use one.

On the plus side, some time in sunny Spain will definitely chase away any remaining cold symptoms
