Thanks everyone.

I've had a cold/cough for the past 2 weeks. My husband had pneumonia. We're flying tomorrow.

I'm still fighting the effects of the congestion. My ears crackle when I swallow.

I have the ear planes set to go and Tylenol cold for severe congestion ready. I may also go buy Afrin and use it.

I had ear pain once on decent. Never again. I thought my head was going to explode.

A FA was kind enough to give me two cups with hot towels in them. It worked, but I was in business, I doubt they would do anything for me in coach.

So, thanks again for your suggestions & wish us luck!

Mary
