Ear blockage caused by cable car ride may be related to pressure imbalance in the middle ear cavity, acute secretory otitis media, inflammation of the Eustachian tube, etc. According to the specific cause of the disease, we need to choose the general treatment, medication and surgical treatment in order to solve the symptoms of ear blockage.
1. Middle ear cavity pressure imbalance: after the cable car may be due to changes in the external environment air pressure, the natural open function of the Eustachian tube will not be timely to relieve the tympanic membrane on both sides of the air pressure difference, resulting in transient ear blockage feeling. If there is no obvious secretion in the nasal cavity, we can use the appropriate force to pinch the nose and puff, chew, swallow and other actions to promote the opening of the Eustachian tube.
2. Acute secretory otitis media: when the negative pressure in the middle ear can not be relieved, it can cause edema of the mucous membrane of the tympanic chamber, increase the plasma exudation, and produce fluid in the middle ear cavity. Nasal decongestants such as hydroxymetazoline can often be used to spray the nose, short-term oral prednisone and other glucocorticoids, oral eucalyptus-pin and other mucus drainage agents, or conservative treatment such as eustachian tube blowing can be carried out.
If the ear stuffiness and fluid accumulation cannot be relieved by standardized conservative treatment, tympanocentesis, tympanotomy and tympanic tube placement, eustachian tube balloon dilatation and other surgical treatments can be chosen.
3. Inflammation of the Eustachian tube: when the cable car ride triggered fluid accumulation in the middle ear, secondary infection, inflammatory factor stimulation and other factors, can cause continuous inflammation of the Eustachian tube, resulting in a long-lasting stuffy feeling in the ear. Often on the basis of the above treatment, according to the type of pathogenic bacteria, systemic use of amoxicillin, cefaclor and other antibiotics anti-infection treatment.
The cable car ears blocked the situation, you need to actively consult a systematic examination, clear cause and degree of illness, follow the doctor’s instructions standardized treatment.
