When on an airplane, why do we hurt the ears and head?

If we are going to fly would imagine how it feels .. shadow Well, what if the plane when we actually feel uncomfortable because we felt ears and head hurt so badly even the head feels like going to explode?
Is this situation normal? This is called Occlusion Tubal or a blockage in the fallopian tubes in the ears. Tuba eustachius / Eusthacian tube is a channel that starts from the middle ear and ended up behind the nose or base of the throat area. This channel serves to balance the air pressure in the middle ear and outside air pressure. When the pressure difference then this channel will open and allow air into the middle ear so that the pressure to be balanced.

When can the pressure difference is? If we want to get on a plane, when the aircraft was about to take off or landing or when the plane up and down in the air, our ears will feel like a full or a dead end or a bit less heard, this is caused by the pressure difference as before. Usually we will immediately respond to swallow that our hearing became normal again. With this swallowed will cause the tube open and outside air can enter ketelinga the middle.
In some people with disorders in Tuba eustachius or longer in people who have the flu / cold will occur is difficult to balance the pressure (when the aircraft in the air) so that air can not enter the middle ear and middle ear resulted in a vacuum, in circumstances like this channel the tubes were going to respond by reducing the middle ear space and attract the surrounding tissue for pressure somewhat balanced, and this response that causes incredible pain as the head going to explode. What's the solution?
In particular orang2 with disturbances in the fallopian tubes or the flu again, if you want to get on a plane should use nose drops that serves to open the fallopian tubes, the time before leaving (or can be by oral decongestant drug / drunk), how to dribble on the right nasal and left, having dropped his head must tilt the same direction for about 5 minutes, so when the right nasal drops, then the head tilted to the right to liquids into the ear. When on the plane over 8 hours, can be repeated in this way and done in the plane.
For tubal open continuously, perbanyaklah swallowed, one simple way is to suck candy, because candy will suck out saliva and inevitably we will be swallowed earlier. Therefore, before the plane would take off flight attendants will distribute candy, sometimes sweets were distributed by flight attendants considered to be part of the service and directly cepat2 spent before the plane took off, but ideally before dikulum pelan2 candy along the way for us to swallow continuously.
Another way is to evaporate, because when we yawn, the air will come out of the ear, so the pressure will be maintained.
Especially in anak2 or baby do not need ears covered with cotton (many in this way advise the parents) but enough to be drinking a lot at the time of aircraft in the air, as by swallowing, the tube will be open continuously. Covering the ears with cotton is not effective to overcome tubal occlusion in children, this is only useful way to reduce airplane noise. So when a plane carrying a small child and her son began to fuss should be made to drink water or milk, since she might have had tubal occlusion.
