 air travel
i just came home from a cruise vacation. i had a little stuffy nose and flew from florida to philly a 2 hour flight last night. my ear started to throb. when i got home i realized my ear never popped from the air pressure. i went to the doctor this morning and i actually damaged my ear drum. she said "don't you know you should never fly with a cold". i was like i only had the sniffles and needed to get home to go to work today. i just wanted to share. i never knew flying with a cold could cause permanent damage to your ears. maybe at the airport they should stop screaming about whether you have shampoo in your bag and tell you some real risks. |
