    Why do I get otitis media?

    First, people can get otitis media due to a common cold or throat infection. After a person has a cold, the inflammation of the pharynx and nose will continue to spread to the eustachian tube, and then the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube and the mucous membrane of the lumen will appear congested and swollen, which will also cause germs to invade the middle ear, which will also cause otitis media.

    Secondly, swimming is also a very important cause of otitis media in people. When swimming, there are more people in the pool, and the water in the pool may not be as clean as people think, so the bacteria and disinfectants in the water will enter the body through the nose or mouth of the human body, which will also lead to the appearance of colds, which will further lead to people suffering from otitis media.

    Third, if a person is due to lack of sleep or excessive physical exertion, the immunity of the whole person will continue to decline, which will easily lead to bacteria entering the body and suffering from otitis media.

    Fourth, if a person smokes cigarettes for a long time, he is likely to suffer from otitis media, and smoking cigarettes here includes not only his own cigarettes but also inhaling second-hand smoke smoked by others. Because smoking can cause a person's systemic arteriosclerosis, especially the nicotine contained in cigarettes will make small blood vessels cramp after entering the blood, hardening the arterioles of the inner ear, which will cause insufficient blood supply to the inner ear, which seriously affects a person's hearing.

    There are many types of otitis media, and it is generally believed that there is a blockage of the Eustachian tube, infection, and immunocompromise. Nasopharyngeal tumors, adenoid hypertrophy, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, posterior nasal hole polyps, etc., can cause obstruction of the eustachian tube and put the tympanic chamber in a state of negative pressure. When negative pressure is formed in the tympanic cavity, it is easy to cause the middle ear mucosal vein to dilate and stasis, which increases the permeability of the blood vessel wall and causes leakage in the tympanic cavity.

    If there are various infectious factors and the body's immune function is weakened at this time, it is easy to cause various otitis media.
