How is acute otitis media in infants caused

Infants and young children are more susceptible to this condition because of the inappropriate breastfeeding position, such as when the milk flows through the Eustachian tube into the middle ear, causing middle ear infection. In addition, if tympanic membrane puncture is performed in which the tympanic membrane route of the ear canal does not conform to the aseptic operation, it will also cause germs to directly invade the middle ear from the external ear canal, resulting in the occurrence of acute otitis media. There are also upper respiratory tract infections that can also cause otitis media.

Otitis media is an inflammation of the ear that can occur in both adults and children. In particular, some underwater workers, or after swimming, do not clean their ears in time, leading to the appearance of inflammation. Babies don't usually come into contact with water, but otitis media can occur.

So, how can a baby get otitis media?

The reason for otitis media in babies may be that parents do not pay attention when taking a bath, resulting in the bath water entering the baby's ears, and then there is inflammation without timely cleaning. In addition, when the baby is crying, tears may also flow into the baby's ears, inducing the appearance of otitis media.

Babies in the upper respiratory tract infection or cold will also induce otitis media, if otitis media can not be timed, it may also lead to rhinitis. Therefore, after the baby is sick, parents need to take the baby to the hospital in time to do relevant examinations and ** to avoid problems such as otitis media or rhinitis when the disease becomes serious.

In general, otitis media in babies may be caused by tears entering the ears, or it may be caused by respiratory infections that are not timely**. Whatever the cause, it needs to be timely. During the treatment period, the baby should pay attention to drinking more water and eating lightly.

1.low self-resistance;

2.There are few SIGA antibodies in the upper respiratory tract and it is easy to be infected by viruses;

3.The opening of the Eustachian tube in the nasopharynx is relatively low and flat, and bacterial poison is easy to invade;

4.Adenoid hypertrophy mechanically compresses the opening of the Eustachian tube, and bacteria and viruses hide in the adenoids to form hidden lesions;

Clause. 1. Caused by the eustachian tube pathway, which is caused by some infections related to our nasal cavity and sinuses, among which the tube connecting the nasal cavity and sinuses with the middle ear is called the eustachian tube, which causes acute inflammatory lesions of the middle ear through this pathway;

Clause. 2. The tympanic membrane route of the external auditory canal, such as trauma and water ingress into the ear canal, causes inflammatory changes in the middle ear.

Because children's resistance is relatively poor, they are prone to acute otitis media. Sometimes coughing or squeezing the nose can cause congestion of the nasal mucosa, leading to bacterial infection of the middle ear and acute otitis media. Or it is taking a bath in unclean water, and too many bacteria enter the middle ear, resulting in acute otitis media.

If children have sinusitis, allergic rhinitis and other diseases, it will indirectly lead to acute otitis media in children. Sometimes the inflammation caused by the common cold and fever can also lead to acute otitis media in children. Therefore, when a child has acute otitis media, it must be timely**.

Children with acute otitis media should be given antibiotics** as recommended by their doctor, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs. If pus appears in the child's ear, parents should clean the child's ear canal with hydrogen peroxide and add antibiotic drops**.

During the child's recovery period, parents should be careful not to let water enter the ears, keep the child's nasal cavity comfortable, and do not squeeze the child's nasal cavity too hard. Pay attention to cold and warmth to prevent children from catching colds and fevers.

How does acute otitis media cause babies Most of the otitis media in babies is that the mother has otitis media when she is pregnant, so through umbilical cord blood, the child suffers from otitis media.

Acute otitis media may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, the more common is tonsil inflammation, and the human five senses and nerves are connected, so the respiratory tract will induce the formation of otitis media.

Pediatric acute otitis media, mainly secretory otitis media, is mainly caused by upper respiratory tract infection, and the pathogen in the upper respiratory tract throat area spreads to the middle ear through the eustachian tube.

The common cause of acute search otitis media in children is bacterial or viral infection, or secondary to the common cold, cold weather, closed doors and windows may be predisposing factors, and it is more likely to occur in immunocompromised or rhinitis children.

Environmental pollution is also becoming more and more serious, the most serious of which is the noise pollution of the bent ear. Because noise pollution is more serious, the damage to people's ears is very large, and buried fiber can cause otitis media.

After the child catches a cold, it is easy to scratch the ears and cheeks, and then the baby will cry and have a fever, which is acute otitis media. If it is not timely or improper, the child will be affected when he grows up. So what to do with acute otitis media in children?

1. Medication**. When taking medication, it should be based on the child's age and condition. In unilateral or bilateral acute otitis media, fever usually occurs, requiring antibiotics** to reduce pain.

2. For acute otitis media, it is necessary to use tympanic tube placement.

3. To prevent colds, when the weather changes, dress children in appropriate clothes and give them more water.

4. The correct way to blow your nose can prevent otitis media. When blowing your nose, you can use your fingers to press one nostril on the sock to slow down, blow your nose out with a little force, and then use the same method to blow the other side of your nose. When nasal discharge is not easy to blow, you can use saline nasal drops first, and then blow after nasal ventilation.

5. In addition, you should take good measures when swimming, and do not swallow water into your mouth, because the water will enter the middle ear through the nasopharynx, which will lead to inflammation.

After the child has otitis media, parents should go to the hospital in time, take medicine or infusion**, and do not delay the child, otherwise it will cause him adverse effects. And during the ** period, parents should let their children drink more water and eat more nutritious liquid food to avoid chewing.

The pathogenic bacteria are pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, hemolytic streptococcus, etc., which tend to occur in children. The systemic symptoms of Shentong liquid vary from mild to severe, including chills, fever, lethargy, loss of appetite, and minor and severe systemic symptoms, accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. As soon as the tympanic membrane is perforated, the body temperature gradually decreases, and the systemic symptoms are significantly reduced.

Infants and young children are highly susceptible to otitis media, which presents with painful inflammation of the middle ear, accompanied by earache and fever. Otitis media with overflow is fluid that appears in the middle ear, sometimes causing mild, transient hearing loss. There are several reasons why infants and young children are susceptible to this condition.

One is that their immune system is still developing, making them susceptible to colds or other viral infections. The second is that the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the larynx, is short and horizontal, making it easier for bacteria to enter the middle ear from the larynx. When children catch a cold, their eustachian tube swells, the space between the eardrum and the eustachian tube is filled with fluid, the fluid brings pain and pressure to the eardrum, and becomes a good breeding ground for bacteria, resulting in purulent otitis media, and in severe cases, the eardrum is perforated, pus flows out, and the pain is reduced. By the time children go to school, their middle ear structures begin to develop, their immune function improves, and the incidence of otitis media decreases.

Is otitis media contagious? Otitis media itself is not contagious, but respiratory diseases such as colds are contagious, and they are the triggers of otitis media, and isolating children from sick children can avoid the onset of otitis media, especially in winter. Since otitis media is an ordinary disease, is it not necessary to pay too much attention to it?

Frequent otitis media, if left unchecked, can lead to permanent hearing loss, further delaying and impairing the child's ability to speak. Because normal hearing before the age of 3 years is essential for the development of language function. Therefore, if your child suffers from otitis media, it is important to seek medical attention in time.

In some special cases, otitis media can also lead to serious complications such as mastoiditis, meningitis, etc., or disrupt balance. How can I tell if my child has otitis media? If your child frequently complains of ear pain or pressure, fever, or sneezing, he or she may have otitis media.

Babies put the most pressure on their ear drums when feeding, swallowing, or lying flat at night, exacerbating the pain. Other symptoms include irritability, hearing loss, loss of appetite, and yellowing or bloody fluid from the ears. For babies who are unable to express themselves, it is all up to the careful observation of their parents.

This is the most important causative factor of acute otitis media in children, and the reason is most likely that the immunity is low or the child does not pay attention to hygiene, resulting in bacteria or viruses entering the child's ear canal, causing infection of various layers of tissues in the ear, causing acute otitis media.

Acute otitis media in children is commonly caused by bacterial or viral infections, or secondary to the common cold, cold weather, closed doors and windows may be precipitating factors, and is more likely to occur in immunocompromised children or with rhinitis.

Primary**Infections such as bacteria or virusesThis is the most important causative factor of acute otitis media in children, and the reason is most likely that the immunity is low or the child does not pay attention to hygiene, resulting in bacteria or viruses entering the child's ear canal, causing infection of various layers of tissues in the ear, causing acute otitis media.

Secondary to the common coldAcute otitis media can be caused by a cold that can cause blockage in the Eustachian tube in children, preventing the Eustachian tube from properly draining fluid and bacteria from the middle ear cavity.

1.Ear, nose and throat diseases such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, nasal polyps and other common ear, nose and throat diseases, there are a large number of bacteria in these parts, which will enter the middle ear through the eustachian tube, causing acute otitis media in children.

2.When the water enters the ear, if it is treated in time, it will cause acute otitis media in children3Lying down and drinking milk 4

Due to lack of sleep in children, or excessive fatigue, the immunity is weakened. 5.The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of acute otitis media in children, experts from Beijing Huikangtai pointed out that otitis media is very harmful, and it will affect hearing if it is not received in time.

Therefore, it is recommended that all patients and friends should pay attention to prevention and early occurrence of disease symptoms. Frequent cleaning of the ear canal with ear canal cleaning solution can effectively kill pathogenic bacteria on the surface of the ear canal and prevent infection in the ear canal. Especially if otitis media has occurred, use ear canal cleaning solution to clean the ear canal and promote **; For chronic otitis media, using an ear canal cleaner can control symptoms.

When a baby has acute otitis media, it can be severe. If the infection is severe or left unprompted**, it can cause your baby's eardrum to rupture. A ruptured eardrum doesn't happen often and usually heals quickly, but be sure to take your baby for a follow-up test to make sure the infection is complete and the eardrum is healing well.

Children suffering from acute otitis media may be caused by a cold, in addition, the child's body immunity is relatively low, it is easy to be infected by bacterial inflammation, which will also lead to otitis media, the child should be carried out in time after the disease**, it is recommended to take antibiotic drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs**.

Initiatives are proposed. Children with acute otitis media are not treated in time, which can easily lead to hearing loss, which will affect the psychological development of the child.

Precautions. Usually, the child's diet needs to be light, give the child some easily digestible food, and try not to give the child some hard, easy to get angry food.

Acute otitis media in children may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, the more common is tonsil inflammation, and the nerves of the five senses of the human body are connected, so the respiratory tract will induce the formation of otitis media. Patients with rhinitis and sinusitis also often cause otitis media to develop, which can also be caused by water ingress in the ear.

Inflammation of the middle ear is otitis media and is a common disease. Otitis media usually occurs in children under 8 years of age, but also in other age groups, and is often a painful complication of an upper respiratory tract infection such as the common cold or throat infection.

May be acute purulent or adhesive otitis media. Traditional Chinese medicine** is mainly ear washing, the ear canal can be washed clean with a disinfectant cotton swab, rolled into a thin tube with paper or ingested with a thin plastic tube to ingest an appropriate amount of otitis media powder.

The best principles of pediatric acute otitis media include infection control, unobstructed drainage, and ****:

1.Active** Upper respiratory tract lesions, such as colds, fever, tonsil inflammation, etc.;

2.Positive**Nasopharyngeal disease: If the child has nasal congestion and runny nose, nasal sprays can be used locally** to keep the nasal cavity unobstructed and avoid nasal mucus from flowing backward into the middle ear and causing infection;

3.If the earache is significant, oral antipyretic analgesics such as ibuprofen can be used to relieve symptoms.

The main cause of otitis media in children is infection, which is related to the spread of diseases of the respiratory tract, nose and pharynx, and otitis media.

The main clinical manifestations are swelling pain or blockage in the ear area, hearing loss and tinnitus.

Due to the immune and structural problems of children, the main problems are some skill disorders caused by infection, allergies, immune reactions and edema.
