One of my embarrassing moments as a young doctor at the Manila Doctor’s Hospital decades ago, was when I consulted our ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist, Dr. Felix Nolasco, for some aching pain in my left ear. After taking a quick look in my ear canal with his otoscope instrument, he asked me, “Are you using cotton-tipped applicators to clean your ears?”
MAYBE you’re not new to that feeling of pressure in your ears when you’re in a descending plane. Dizzy spells here and there are quite common, accompanied by a feeling of nausea.
