What are the symptoms of pus in my ears?

Ear pus is a common symptom in our otology. There are two conditions of pus in the ear, one is inflammation of the external auditory canal. Inflammation of the external auditory canal often occurs for the first time or the second time, and of course, there are also cases of plucking your own ears or asking others to pluck your ears, which damages the external auditory canal and leads to infection of the external auditory canal.

After the infection, there will be pus discharged, and there will even be pain, this pain is obvious, and there is another kind of infection, that is, the infection of the external ear canal will produce pus. There is also a kind of otitis media that we often talk about, otitis media generally has a certain medical history, and he has a long-term course, such as once, twice, three times. Many patients will know that otitis media can occur if the ears are watery or the ears are not clean or they have a cold recently.

The most common otitis media is the ear outflow of pus, this pus can indicate that there is otitis media, with otitis media should go to the hospital to find a doctor, if you must clean up otitis media, you should go to the positive attitude when you have to.

Ear pus generally refers to the discharge of viscous fluid from the opening of the external auditory canal, many people (including some otologists) will think that this situation is caused by otitis media, but in fact, the fluid flowing from the opening of the external auditory canal may come from the middle ear, or it may be the external auditory canal.

It is not complicated to distinguish whether pus is otitis media, as long as the structure of the eardrum can be seen clearly. The eardrum is intact, whether hyperemic or not, indicates that the fluid is not coming from the middle ear. If there is a perforation of the eardrum and fluid leaking from the tympanic chamber can be seen to confirm that the ear is otitis media.

Rarely, even if there is a perforation of the eardrum, but the tympanic cavity is found to be dry by ear endoscopy, and there is no trace of inflammation in the mucosa of the tympanic cavity, it is also necessary to consider that the ear discharge is caused by a disease of the external ear canal.

Why is it necessary to distinguish between external auditory canal disease and middle ear disease, because the follow-up plan of the two cases is different. Otitis media causes pus that is mostly suppurated** and requires antibiotics (oral, intravenous, topical). Most of the ear pus caused by diseases of the external ear canal is related to allergies and fungi, and the use of antibiotics cannot control the symptoms, but may add fuel to the fire.

Especially in fungal otitis externa, there are many cases of non-healing for months due to the blind use of antibiotics.

Diseases of the external auditory canal are mainly carried out by drugs, and can be controlled within two weeks with proper use, and if they are not controlled for more than two weeks, the method needs to be changed. For otitis media with recurrent pus, most antibiotics can only temporarily control the symptoms but cannot **. Because the middle ear has a large space where necrotic tissue and cholesteatoma can be kept, these can be visualized by a CT of the middle ear, which may eventually need to be resolved by middle ear surgery.
