Introduction
Excessive ozone exposure can be alleviated through general treatment, physical therapy, and medication. Breathing in fresh air frequently and drinking plenty of warm water are helpful. Additionally, visiting a hospital for treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy or lung lavage may relieve symptoms. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as azithromycin dry suspension or cefixime granules can also be used to alleviate discomfort.
Excessive ozone exposure can be alleviated through general treatment, physical therapy, and medication. Specific analysis is as follows:
1. General Treatment
When a patient has inhaled excessive oxygen but shows no obvious symptoms or only mild symptoms such as chest tightness and difficulty breathing, extensive intervention is usually unnecessary. Symptoms can be relieved by breathing fresh air regularly, drinking plenty of warm water, and avoiding smoking.
2. Physical Therapy
If symptoms worsen and include coughing, lack of concentration, fatigue, or weakness, the patient should go to the hospital for treatments such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy or lung lavage to alleviate the condition.
3. Medication
If the aforementioned symptoms persist for more than two days and pulmonary function changes occur, patients may require medications such as azithromycin dry suspension or cefixime granules under medical supervision to relieve symptoms and prevent pneumonia.
After short-term excessive ozone inhalation and onset of physical discomfort, patients should promptly visit a hospital for examination and treatment to avoid missing the optimal treatment window and prevent more serious bodily harm.
