It occurs in the cartilage of the external auditory canal and is one of the common diseases in otology. Most of them are ear picking and damage the external auditory canal** or water accumulation in the external auditory canal during bathing and swimming, which softens the local epidermis and is easy to be invaded and infected by bacteria.

Otitis media is characterized by ear pain, pus in the ears, and tightness in the ears, accompanied by hearing loss. It's first to clean up some secretions from the external auditory canal, and then drop ear drops, along with taking some oral anti-inflammatory drugs. The main way to prevent ear inflammation is to prevent dirty water from entering the ear, prevent colds, exercise and enhance physical fitness.

Ear inflammation may be due to frequent ear plucking, or water in the ear.

Ear pus, to analyze the cause of ear pus, the most common is due to acute purulent otitis media, or acute exacerbatis of chronic purulent otitis media. It is usually an acute inflammation caused by bacterial infection, so the first thing to do is to control the infection and fight the infection**, such as oral cephalosporin antibiotics, antibiotic ear drops in the ear, such as ofloxacin ear drops, lomefloxacin ear drops, etc. For severe cases, patients with fever and even severe earache, infusions are required to fight infection**.

In addition to otitis media, there are other factors that cause pus in the ear, such as pus from boils in the external auditory canal, which is usually pure and the amount of pus is relatively small. Therefore, for the external ear knot is also due to bacterial infection, mainly acute purulent inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection, which only occurs in the external auditory canal, and it is also necessary to carry out anti-infection**, and anti-infection with cephalosporin antibiotics**.

If there is pus in the ear, the first thing to know is whether the pus referred to by the common people is medical pus or other secretions. If it is really pus, there will be a preliminary diagnosis of such patients according to the length of the medical history. For example, if the patient has frequent and repeated pus, sometimes good and sometimes bad, then it should be considered as a type of chronic otitis media.

If the patient is only sudden, such as ear pain accompanied by pus, it is considered that he is present in the prognostic phase of acute otitis externa. If it is a long-term recurrent ear discharge, it will be asked whether it is accompanied by hearing loss, whether there is a peculiar smell of purulent discharge, purulent discharge mixed with unmixed bloody discharge, and further examinations will be carried out according to this situation, such as ear CT to confirm whether surgical intervention is needed, that is, surgery or drug conservatism**, such as ear washing, ear spotting, oral antibiotics, etc. If it is this short-term ear discharge, it may be caused by an acute external ear canal infection, which can be relieved with some conservative ** drugs.
