How to Stop Your Ear from Popping
Ear popping occurs when Eustachian tubes are blocked after the eardrum experiences a sudden change in atmospheric pressure. People face this problem especially after travelling on an airplane, scuba diving and visiting places at high altitude.
Pain in the ear itself is not life threatening, but still when it occurs you should immediately consult your doctor. After all, it could be a bacterial infection which may lead to an unpleasant situation.
