Hunnibunni23 answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 10:11 pm: Yes, I was just on a plane trip the other day and gum does help, or you can swallow ( sounds gross but it works) and you can move your jaw up and down, ALSO you can plug your nose and close your mouth untill you feel it pop. I hope I helped a little! ♥Andie [ Hunnibunni23's advice column | Ask Hunnibunni23 A Question ]
rememberxforever answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 6:39 pm: yep. that and swallowing. and pinching your nose (with you mouth closed) and try to blow out.
esbeautiful1313 answered Tuesday April 5 2005, 5:08 pm: This is true, however I have found an even more effective way (like if you need to on a plane).
First, pinch your nose together. Then, as you are still pinching your nose, blow through it. (as if you were going to blow your nose) & make sure you are pinching tight!
I hope this works for you! [ esbeautiful1313's advice column | Ask esbeautiful1313 A Question ]
