when do i give my toddler decongestant to avoid ear infection on a plane ride?
Question:
Answers:
The most common route for an ear infection to take hold is through water settling into the ear.
A decongestant may be be recommended for alleviating the pain children (and a lot of adults) feel with the pressure fluctuations associated with flying.
However, there are other measures to prevent this pain (such as vented earplugs e.g. 'Earplanes').
Using a decongestant on your toddler to reduce the chance of an ear infection should only be done with the recommendation of your family doctor, or an ENT doctor.
