How To Relieve Pressure In Ears After Having Flu Shot During Pregnancy?
Got a flu shot yesterday at first OB visit (8 wks pregnant). Within 3-4 hrs of vaccination ears feel completely stopped up and I am unable to relieve the pressure by tilting my head and gently blowing. Driving me nuts! No other cold or allergy symptoms. I m 29 and weigh 108, ht is 5 3

HI,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
If there is no fever / cold signs, cough .. You can try-
- Vapor inhalation
- Press both palms on ear openings while your cheek are inflated . wait for few seconds . Deflate the cheeks & gently pull palms from ear.
* The exercise is contraindicated in infection of ear, nose or throat.
Never pull off palms while the ears are still closed.
- This should help you. If not visit an ENT doctor for furthewr advise.
Thanks.
