    Symptoms vary slightly depending on different types of otitis media. Typical symptoms of suppurative otitis media include earache, hearing loss, discharge of water in the ear canal, pus, and even bleeding. Secretory otitis media is mostly manifested as ear pain, ear tightness, ear blockage, hearing loss or tinnitus.

    In addition to the above typical symptoms, it can also be accompanied by fever, headache and other systemic symptoms. Symptoms: 1. Earache is more common in acute purulent otitis media, and the pain is more obvious when the tympanic membrane is hyperemia, and if it is accompanied by purulent discharge in the middle ear, it can be manifested as severe pain.

    Some patients will experience a feeling of ear congestion. 2. Patients with suppurative otitis media with flowing water or purulent ear canal, when the eardrum is perforated, watery, bloody or purulent discharge will flow out of the ear canal. Ear canal discharge can be persistent or intermittent, with the former being more common in middle ear cholesteatomas, especially when the ear canal discharge is like tofu residue with a foul odor, and the latter is more common in chronic simple otitis media.

    3. Most patients with hearing loss will be accompanied by varying degrees of hearing loss, especially patients with middle ear cholesteatoma, because the ossicular chain is destroyed by cholesteatoma, the hearing loss is more serious. 4. Some patients with tinnitus will be accompanied by low-key or high-profile tinnitus. In patients with secretory otitis media, when the nose is pinched and the air is puffed, the "sound of air passing through the water" in the ear will be heard.

    Note: Some patients may have symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and diarrhea.

    If you have a cold, a little carelessness will cause otitis media, which is why, in fact, this is mainly because of the anatomy of the human body, and there will be a eustachian tube on both sides of the back of everyone's nasal cavity that communicates with the ear. In normal times, the Eustachian tube has the effect of maintaining the balance of air pressure in the middle ear and draining the secretions of the middle ear.

    In adults, the Eustachian tube is about centimeters long, the ear is high, the nasopharynx is low, and it is often collapsed, and it only opens at the moment of yawning and chewing, so pathogens in the adult nasopharynx do not easily enter the middle ear. The eustachian tube in children is shorter, flatter and wider than that of adults, and the probability of suffering from otitis media is greatly increased.

    Many children suddenly develop acute otitis media in the later stages of a cold, which is related to blowing their nose and sleeping quality when they have a cold. When parents blow their children's nose, pinching both sides of the nose and blowing the nose can easily cause secretions to block the Eustachian tube, and the correct way is to block one side of the nostril and blow the nose naturally on the other side.

    The second is because when you have a cold, it will also cause your child to cough, once you cough, the sleep is not very good, which will lead to insufficient blood supply to the inner ear vasospasm, which will affect the auditory nerve, and the phenomenon of ear pain will occur after a long time.

    What are the symptoms of otitis media?

    1. Earache. In acute cases, there may be dull otalgia, which is often the first symptom of the patient, and can be persistent or throbbing. In chronic cases, the earache is not obvious. The condition is often accompanied by occlusion or fullness in the ear, which can be temporarily relieved by pressing the tragus.

    2. Tinnitus. Most of them are low-key intermittent, such as "crackling" sounds, buzzing sounds and running water sounds. When the head moves, yawns, or blows the nose, there may be a sound of breath passing through the ears.

    3. Hearing loss.

    Hearing loss, increased self-hearing. When the head is tilted forward or shifted to the unaffected side, hearing may be temporarily improved as fluid leaves the cochlear transmission (dislocated hearing improvement). When the fluid is thick, hearing does not change due to changes in head position.

    Children often have slow response to sounds, difficulty concentrating, and declining academic performance, and are brought to the doctor by their parents. If one ear is diseased and the other ear has normal hearing, it may go unnoticed for a long time and be detected during a physical examination.

    Otitis media caused by childhood colds is generally acute otitis media and/or secretory otitis media, which requires the use of antibiotics, stimulation agents and other drugs**.

    Acute otitis media and/or secretory otitis media occurs when the lesion involves the eustachian tube or middle ear. For acute otitis media, topical antibiotic ear drops and oral antibiotic drugs** are mainly used to eliminate inflammation and kill pathogenic bacteria. For secretory otitis media, it is necessary to use stimulation agents, even tympanic membrane puncture and tympanic tube placement**, because secretory otitis media may turn into middle ear cholesterol granuloma if it does not heal for a long time, so once there is a middle ear effusion, it is necessary to go to the otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery outpatient clinic of a professional and qualified regular hospital in a timely manner, and a professional otolaryngology-head and neck surgeon will conduct a complete medical history collection, specialist examination, and if necessary, receive targeted auxiliary examinations (audiology examination, Imaging examinations, laboratory examinations, etc.), in order to clarify the diagnosis of the disease, the stage of the disease, and give targeted ** to avoid delaying the condition.

    Children's colds can indeed lead to otitis media, because the eustachian tube in infants and young children is soft, and short, the lumen is relatively wide, the position is relatively horizontal, the opening of the nasopharynx and the opening of the tympanic cavity are on the same level, and there is no obvious narrowing and inclination, these anatomical structures determine that children are particularly prone to otitis media. Children with upper respiratory tract infections, adenoid proliferation, tonsillitis, and especially viral infections are particularly likely to cause secondary otitis media. In the case of acute otitis media, children often present with dull pain in the ear, hearing loss, excessive self-sound, sound of air passing through water in the ear, tinnitus like blowing wind, and can hear sounds in the ears when swallowing, the sound of air and water in the ears when blowing the nose, and mild ear pain.
