Mainly due to Blocked ear and Nose
Chew / Swallow / Yawn - might help to Maintain Nose And Ear Patency
As simple as A Chewing gum during Take off and Landing will help to maintain patency and to avaiid pain
If pain could not be Tolerated
Just take T.Dolo 650
That's more than Enough

It sounds like you're experiencing ear pain due to changes in air pressure during takeoff and landing. This is common and can be managed with a few strategies:
Decongestants: You can take an over-the-counter decongestant like phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine about 30-60 minutes before takeoff and landing. These help reduce nasal congestion, which can alleviate ear pressure.
Ear Drops: If you have a history of ear issues, you may consider using over-the-counter ear drops, but only if advised by your doctor.
Yawning or Swallowing: Try swallowing or yawning frequently during ascent and descent. Chewing gum can also help.
Please consult your healthcare provider before taking any new medication, especially if you have any existing health conditions.
If the problem persists, further evaluation may be required.

You can chew a chewing gum or have frequent small sips of water. That will help equalise the air pressure and relieve the pain. For anything else, Kindly take an instant consultation or contact me at 9999x104x408.
