Welcome to FT!

I had problems as a child but outgrew them at some point.

Chewing gum during takeoff and landing may be benificial. I would also consider taking a decongestant like pseudoephedrine for a few days before flying.

Of course this doesn't take the place of a qualified medical evaluation.
