Can Flying Again Even After A Distended Ear May Rupture Ear Drum?
I flew over the weekend and my ears, especially my left is clogged. I went to my doctor yesterday and she says there s lots of fluid in both ears. She said my left is distended and may rupture. She gave me a prescription for Flonase and azithromycin. She told me to take sudafed and claritin. I m suppose ti fly again tomorrow morning and fly back Sunday night. Will I be ok to fly? Will my ear drum rupture? I m really afraid of causing pain and damage to my ear(s).
It is better to wait for some time before flying again.Because you are in acute stage there is probability that ear drum may rupture..Wait for the completion of antibiotics and nasal spray
