Shameless cross-blog plug about alleviating sinus congestion.I have to go through a cuckoo ritual every time I fly, courtesy of my twitch-doctor, Geoffrey Pollack, Central Park West (right off the C train). An hour before boarding, I take a decongestant (Sudafed). Then I spray Afrin into each nostril while inhaling deeply. THEN I pinch my nostrils shut, close my mouth, and blow...til my ears pop. Once in my seat, I wear special ear plugs to equalize the air pressure in my head. AND THEN I chew gum upon take-off. Gotta do the WHOLE THING OVER AGAIN 45 minutes before landing. If I don't, my ear drums rupture. OUCH. The alternative is to get that tube surgery...yuck.
