Yesterday I flew Zürich–Singapore and the landing left me in tears. Felt like my head was going to explode right above my eyes. Twenty-four hours later it’s still sore, and ibuprofen didn’t do much. Looked it up and seems like it’s barotrauma from pressure changes.
Flying again to Christchurch today (A350 this time) and I’m honestly dreading the descent. Picked up nasal sprays (one decongestant, one hydrating), some anti-swelling tablets, and I’ve got antihistamines too. Planning to drink more water as well. Anyone here had this before and found tricks that actually help? Would love to avoid going through that pain again.
