What are the dangers of water in the baby s ears? And how to take care of it?

A small amount of water in the ear is often not much of a problem, but repeated water intake or poor hygiene conditions are likely to cause diseases such as inflammation of the external auditory canal, and even inflammatory infiltration and prolongation induce otitis media, affecting the development of hearing organs and even affecting hearing. After soothing the child, when the child is quiet, cooperate with the turicle of the external auditory canal, use a clean absorbent tissue or cotton swab, gently wipe the external auditory canal, absorb the water, and keep the external auditory canal dry.

It will damage the inside of the baby's ears, cause bacterial infection, damage the eardrum, damage the ossicles, and in severe cases, it will also cause a decrease in physical strength; When we find that the baby's ears are watery, we should timely put the baby's ears in the water down, put the cotton swab into the ear mouth to absorb water, let the baby do some mouth opening and closing movements, promote the water outflow, and twist the cotton into a soft rope to suck the water out, and can not pick the ears with your hands.

It may cause inflammation of the baby's ear canal, it may cause otitis media, it may also cause ear deafness, and it may also cause ear canal infection, which are all hazards of water in the ear. You can go to a professional ear cleaning institution to clean it after the ear is watered, or you can use some cotton swabs to clean it.

After seeing the baby's ears with water, it is necessary to deal with it immediately, otherwise it will cause infection and cause otitis media, and there is a gap called the eardrum between the outer ear and the middle ear of the human body. In the middle ear cavity, there is a tube leading to the nasopharynx, medically called the Eustachian tube. In infancy, Eustachian tubes are shorter and thicker, making them more likely to cause infection.

When you know that the baby's ears are in water, first put the baby on his thighs lying on his side, so that the ears of the water are facing down, and then press the baby's ear root with the palm of his hand, and then quickly loosen it, do this action several times in a row, and the sucking will be sucked out, you can also use your fingers to gently press the baby's lips, let the baby open the mouth, and move the temporomandibular joint, so that the water into the ear will flow out of the external ear canal. After doing the above steps, fix the baby's head, use a sterilized cotton swab into the baby's ear to a depth of about 1cm and rotate it, and wipe the remaining water in the baby's ear dry. If the baby resists and resists, do not force this action to avoid injuring the eardrum in the ear, which may lead to perforation.

You can wait until your baby is asleep before wiping. Baby's ears are more common, because every day to bathe, wash hair, when the mother is not careful enough or the baby is forced to play in the water is very likely to get water into the ears, there are many children because the ears into the water when they were young did not clean up in time, resulting in hearing loss, otitis media and other ear diseases in the future, so when the baby's ears into the water should be treated with the correct method, so as not to leave trouble.

If the baby's ears are watered, parents can use a cotton swab to dip it gently in the ear canal, sometimes the water can come out, if it can't come out, you need to go to the hospital for treatment.

Most children's ears do not have otitis media tympanic membrane perforation, or do not have tympanic membrane puncture, myringotomy, or tympanic tube placement, when water enters, you can let the child's ear mouth flush down, gently block the pinna or press the tragus, and sometimes the water can come out.

If the water can't come out, you can take a cotton swab and gently dip it in the ear canal, wipe it, and if it still can't come out, you have to go to the hospital to deal with it. Because the child's ear canal is relatively narrow and curved, the surface of the ear canal is also thinner and more delicate. If parents do not handle it well, it is easy to cause abrasions of the external auditory canal and even tympanic membrane damage, so they should go to the hospital and let the doctor clean it up with the help of professional instruments.

Water may swell the cerumen in the middle of the ear canal, which will make your child uncomfortable and need to be cleaned in the hospital. For children with perforated eardrums, or children who have had tympanic membrane puncture, myringotomy, or tympanic tube placement, try to keep the ear canal dry and not allow water to enter the ear, so as not to aggravate the inflammation of the middle ear.

When the ear is very clean, there is no abnormality, and the amount of water entering is small, generally no special treatment is required, and the water can evaporate on its own. When a child has cerumen or infection in his ear, he or she should seek medical attention in time for appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment.

1. Pay attention to observation: if the water intake is small, and the child's ears are relatively clean, there is no cerumen and congestion and other abnormalities, the tympanic membrane is relatively intact, and the water will generally not cause obvious symptoms, nor will it cause much impact, and generally does not need to be special**. In most cases, the water evaporates on its own, so parents don't have to worry too much.

You can use a clean cotton swab to gently soak the water out, but not too deep into the ear. Parents should pay attention to the child's daily performance, and if the child has hearing loss, ear pus, or often cries and complains of tinnitus, earache, etc., they should seek medical attention in time;

2. Seek medical attention in time: If there is too much cerumen in the child's ear, it may cause cerumen to swell after entering the water, which is easy to induce infection, which will cause swelling, pain, tinnitus and other symptoms in the ear. If the child has purulent otitis media, due to the large amount of purulent discharge in the ear, it may lead to aggravation of inflammation and infection after water intake, and it is necessary to use antibiotics according to the doctor's instructions for targeted treatment**, such as azithromycin.

However, it is necessary to take the medicine safely under the guidance of the doctor, and parents should not give the drug to their children privately to avoid aggravation of the condition.

Don't use cotton swabs! Don't use cotton swabs! Don't use cotton swabs!

Instead, the swab will carry water deeper into the outer ear, causing the inner ear to become moist and cause inflammation! The correct way is to use a small piece of cotton to put it on the ear, absorb water If there is more water, you can go to the hospital to do an otoendoscope to clean it up, which is relatively simple. Current otoendoscopic techniques are not problematic for babies and are very safe.

For most children, if the ear is watered, it will only be "deposited" in the external ear canal, and part of the water will volatilize, and the other part will be absorbed by the human body, which will naturally dry out after a period of time, and generally will not cause ear inflammation. So bathing and swimming cause water in the ears.

Be sure to gently press the baby's ear with the thumb of the hand, and the same method is used when washing the other side, if the water really gets into the water, don't worry, you can use a cotton swab or paper towel to suck out the water from the ear mouth. In addition, the baby's ears are but in fact we are too careless, one day Duoduo suddenly covered his ears and shook his head, and he was not honest when he slept at night, always covering his ears and pulling his ears, and asked her that she did not say that it hurt, but the expression was very painful. Duoduo never cries easily, every time she is sick, she will only use a medical cotton swab if the injection hurts, and she should make one end of the cotton swab fluffy and put it in the ear of the water, and slowly roll to suck the water out with a face swab.

Repeat several times until the swab is dry. Then use a hair dryer (weak wind) to gently blow on your ears for one minute.

When washing hair, if there are no tools, the mother can press the baby's ears against the face with water. Don't usually pick up your baby's earwax. In fact, earwax has a good protective effect on the ears, which can prevent dust and fine substances from the outside from penetrating into the ears.

Moreover, babies are sensitive and easy to hurt their ears, so it is unnecessary to pick up earwax frequently, and long-term earwax picking will also lead to bacterial growth.
