Patient's question:
At 60 days post-caesarean section, taking medication for high blood pressure, and experiencing dizziness for a week after a cold due to transportation difficulties. When chewing, there's a hollow sound in the ears. After a week, the stuffy nose and dizziness persist. Is it due to high blood pressure or the cold? The cold hasn't gone away for so long—is it a sign of physical weakness?Doctor's answer:
The common cold is related to chronic recovery and weakened constitution. You have dizziness and eustachian tube blockage. The eustachian tube is a passage connecting the middle ear cavity and the nasal cavity, helping to maintain the balance of air pressure between the middle ear cavity and the outside world. If the eustachian tube becomes blocked again, it can lead to a decrease in middle ear pressure, retraction of the eardrum, and symptoms such as ear muffledness. In most cases, this is related to the common cold, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for targeted treatment to allow for self-recovery. If necessary, eustachian tube inflation may be performed.In addition, during the treatment for cesarean section, in addition to immediate medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the full recovery of the cesarean section.
