Can you fly with otitis externa?

Flying with otitis externa, an outer ear infection, can be uncomfortable but is generally safe. However, the pressure changes during flight may exacerbate pain or discomfort in your ear. It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional before flying to ensure your condition is stable and to receive recommendations for managing any symptoms during the flight. Additionally, using earplugs or Chewing Gum may help alleviate pressure changes.
