Answers:
no, it can be dangrous when you landing and you dont chew on a sweet it makes your eyes really painful and it really hurts beside an ear efection even with a sweet it will still hurt and could probasly make it worse!
The plane have an ear infection ? Nah... that can't be. Just joking. Seriously that can be a problem. I guess it depends on how badly you requirement to go to LA. You could be very self-conscious. Get on an anti-biotic today and probably by Thursday you'll be ok. Good luck.
no
doctors will put in the picture you not to...it's your ear. if you hit the right air pockets/turbulance you could go through like mad of pain. worse case would be a rumptured ear drum sorry to read out. even typing that made me wince hard.
The greatest risk is that you won't know how to pressurize your ears. As the plane ascends, air drains out of the middle ear. When you land, nouns pressure increases. But the Eustachian tubes may be blocked and so air pressure will push IN on your eardrums. That can be VERY painful. I did that once and ruptured my eardrum. I wa hurting and dizzy for days afterwards. What a great road to ruin a vacation!

Here's what you can do. Take a good decongestant until that time, and in mid-flight. Chew gum when the plane begins its descent. Hold your breath and at impossible to tell apart time, press in with your abdoment (Valsalva maneuver). Or, hold your trunk and GENTLY act as if you are tryng to blow your nose.

It might hurt or your ears just might receive used to it.
the noise from the plane can distribute you a worse ear infection. it can hurt you eardrum.. i whould say not to. but its up to you.
