What should I do if I experience ear fullness after intravenous infusion?

Generally, ear fullness after intravenous infusion can be relieved through measures such as ventilation, posture adjustment, throat exercises, chewing gum, and medication. Specific methods are as follows:

1. Ventilation

Ensure adequate ventilation in the infusion room or space; open windows or use an air purifier to maintain proper air circulation.

2. Posture Adjustment

Maintain an upright sitting position and avoid excessive head-down or head-tilted-back postures, which may help reduce ear discomfort.

3. Throat Exercises

Try performing certain throat movements, such as swallowing saliva or doing throat exercises, to help equalize pressure inside the ears.

4. Chewing Gum

Chewing sugar-free gum can stimulate throat muscle activity and assist in balancing pressure within the ears.

5. Medication

If the above measures are ineffective, medications such as amoxicillin capsules or levofloxacin hydrochloride otic solution may be used under medical guidance.

If symptoms are severe, seek prompt medical attention at a hospital for targeted treatment to prevent delays in managing the condition.
