Hello,

You are absolutely right. During flying, Sinus problems and ear canal problems generally aggravates. I think because of sinusitis, it is difficult you to breathe. The cause for your lymph node swelling is Sinusitis only.

For blocked nose, you can use Nasoclear nasal drops. I will suggest you to consult with physician if you have fever. You can eat chewing gum or do Valsalva manure during flight, this will help you. Along with that, you can take steam inhalation twice a day.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
