Planting a plane with a cold may seem harmless, but Captain Haight Garcia, a pilot with a large number of subscribers in Tiktok, warns against this.

According to him, the air pressure in the cabin can harm your ears, especially if you are struggling with a cold. The Eustachian pipes responsible for maintaining the equilibrium of pressure between the middle ear and the outside world may be ignited when you have a congestion.

This inflammation can lead to severe pain in the ear. Captain Garcia warned: \; They cannot leve this pressure, and then you feel pain in your ear. This causes barotrauma, and if it is very serious and you have a strong congestion, your eardrum may even break. This is very serious "

Barotrauma of the ear is a condition in which the eardrum is strained due to unequal pressure between the middle ear and the external environment, which usually occurs during air travel or underwater swimming.

This condition can have quite unpleasant consequences, from slight discomfort to more serious complications, if it is not treated.

Pressure changes can cause a feeling of completeness, discomfort or pain in the affected ears, as a rule, the first and easiest symptom.

In addition, the pressure imbalance can prevent the movement of the eardrum and the structures of the middle ear, which leads to the muffling or decrease in hearing.

In extreme cases, when the pressure difference between the middle ear and the environment is significant, the eardrum may burst. Symptoms of rupture of the eardrum include sharp pain, sudden hearing loss, ears noise (ringing in the ear) or discharge from the ear.
