I was on a flight with a screaming baby. She was congested which didn't help her ears at all. Asked the mother if she had meds for the baby. yeah in her purse. Told her she needed to give them to her. Within 10 minutes the baby quieted down. I take decongestants before flying. It opens up the ear canal enough to make a pleasant flight. But what a thoughtful idea Piper's parents had.
