Is It Safe To Take Flight If I Have Barotrauma?
i have ben suffering from barotrauma since 2 weeks. Now, even though i feel my ears have opened up, but they keep popping and making fluttering noises. This keeps happening throughout the day, and sometimes after it pops i cant hear hear properly for 3-4 minutes. Could you please tell me why this is happening and how long its going to last. Also, I am scheduled to take a flight approximately 3 weeks from now. Is is safe to take a flight in such a condition.

hello,
welcome to HCM,
it is not very safe to take a flight in such a situation.
the reason for this may be some problem associated with the ear.
do visit a otolaryng rhinologist and seek his advice
