Calling Your Health Care Provider

Home care measures should be attempted first. If the discomfort of barotrauma is not relieved within a few hours, call for an appointment with the health care provider.

Call the health care provider if new symptoms develop in a person with barotrauma, especially fever, severe ear pain, or drainage from the ear.
