Get him a lollipop: If making him wear a cap or a scarf to keep his ears covered is becoming a problem, you can opt for an easy and effective way by offering him a lollipop or a candy and make sure they keep it in their mouth rather than chewing it. It will help the Eustachian tube to open up and help maintain equal ear pressure.
