ESpen36 --Be glad it didnt wear off while you all were still in the air. If it had worn off in the air she would have experinced more pain then she could ever believe. Probably would have rendered her unconcious if it had worn off

As for sudafed need to be specific as there are multiple types on the market. Ones without psuedophedrine AKA fakeaphed IMHO doesnt work at all. While the behind the counter, present ID, sign that your life away is the real stuff that will do the trick. It also needs to be used sparingly as long-term use has other side effects/dependency's.

Tewsly - Honestly you need to call your ENT in the morning, as your playing with fire and potentially your hearing. Better to be safe then sorry potentially for the rest of your life

FWIW Im a paramedic as well as a diver but the following is not medical advice. I have flown with perforated eardrums, it was not my idea of fun, but I had no other choice. Subsequently for 3 weeks afterwards my ears were ringing and my balance was off. To this day I have to be careful on equalizing as that ear is very slow to equalise which is managable on a flight but while diving can be a challenge depending on the conditions.
