10 Remedies for an Earache
Earache Remedy #4: Chewing
If you have undergone a sudden change in altitude, then your body will struggle to adapt to the change in air pressure. This is often felt in the ears as the higher pressure within the head pushes outward, and this can be uncomfortable. It can cause a ringing in the ears, difficulty hearing, and can be painful for some people.
Relieving the discomfort involves re-establishing the equilibrium between the external and internal air pressure. This can be helped by chewing as the movement of the jaws will help encourage air to pass out from the internal chambers. Trying to yawn can also help to create the right balance.
