I have problems with my ears when I fly. On my last trip (mdw-pdx), my ears were not equalizing during the descent, and it resulted in unbearable pressure in my ears for the duration of my trip.. It only had just gotten better the day I set off to leave. The flight home aggravated it again a bit, but it wasn't as bad..

I know the common tricks such as pinching your nose and blowing, but that was not helping at all.. On the flight home I tried "earplanes" and that may have helped, as I said the flight home wasn't as bad. But can anyone recommend and really good sinus decongestants, or perhaps you too have this chronic problem and you've discovered a remedy of your own?
