Can otitis media cause a perforated eardrum?

Otitis media may cause a perforation of the eardrum, and otitis media can also cause symptoms such as pain and hearing loss in the ear canal, or systemic symptoms such as fever and vomiting, which will be reduced after the eardrum is perforated. Otitis media is complex and is usually associated with a variety of factors, such as Eustachian tube dysfunction or infection, and can also increase the risk of developing the disease if affected by the external environment or frequent passive smoking.

Advice: If otitis media caused by infection causes perforation of the eardrum, you can use anti-inflammatory or antiviral drugs** as prescribed, and it may heal on its own. If chronic otitis media is the cause, tympanic membrane repair may be required**, after which hearing will most return to normal.

Otitis media can cause perforation of the eardrum but not necessarily otolithiasis. This is because otitis media is reversed, which will produce pus in the ear and corrode the eardrum, resulting in perforation of the eardrum and pus drainage in the ear.

Otolithiasis is usually caused by a lesion of the inner ear, and otitis media generally does not cause an onset of otolithiasis.

Therefore, patients with otitis media should go to the otolaryngology department of a regular hospital in time, and should take anti-inflammatory ** in time during an acute attack to avoid tympanic membrane perforation. At the same time, care should be taken to keep the inside of the ear clean and dry, and avoid dirty water entering the ear to avoid aggravating the infection.

Otitis media can lead to perforation of the eardrum, which is caused by damage and perforation of the eardrum due to failure to time** or uncontrolled inflammation. This is when you need to be timely**. It is recommended that first of all, actively ** otitis media, control inflammation, and decorate concentration, you can choose oral drugs and topical drugs at the same time**.

When the inflammation is controlled, tympanic membrane perforation repair can be performed as appropriate.

Whether otitis media can cause perforation of the eardrum mainly depends on the course and type of otitis media. If it is acute otitis media secondary to upper respiratory tract infection, the inflammation is well controlled in time and generally does not lead to otitis media tympanic membrane perforation.

If inflammation is not controlled in time, it can lead to perforation of the eardrum. After perforation, it is not systematic**, and you usually do not pay attention to it when washing your face and bathing, which leads to water ingress in the external auditory canal, which is easy to prolong into chronic otitis media. Chronic otitis media is often accompanied by perforation of the eardrum, and the eardrum is prone to large perforation due to long-term infection, which is not easy to heal.

Otitis media can cause perforation of the eardrum because the pus oozing from otitis media causes an increase in the pressure in the ear, and when the pressure accumulates to a certain extent, it can cause the eardrum to break, resulting in a perforated eardrum.

Otitis media is inflammation of the tympanic mucosa. When the germs enter the tympanic cavity, inflammation occurs when the resistance is weakened or the bacterial toxins are strengthened, which is manifested as pain in the ear (worse at night), fever, chills, bitter mouth, red or yellow urine, constipation, hearing loss, etc. If the eardrum is perforated, pus drains from the ear, pain is lessened, and often coexists with chronic mastoiditis.

The acute stage is not complete, and it will turn into chronic otitis media, which will often flow pus in the ear with the constitution and climate change, sometimes more and sometimes less, and prolonged for many years.

A long time without intervention will result.

Whether otitis media will cause eardrum perforation, mainly depends on the course and type of otitis media, if it is urgent, timely control of medication will not lead to eardrum perforation, such as inflammation control is not timely, the formation of chronic otitis media will lead to eardrum perforation.

First of all, the perforation of the eardrum caused by otitis media appears, then it is necessary to carry out the first otitis media, and the reason for the appearance of otitis media may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, so patients need to be treated with oral anti-inflammatory and antiviral drugs, such as cefradine capsules, Lanqin oral liquid, etc., and also pay attention to the use of nasal spray drugs, such as Neishuna, Raynoldaut, etc., to promote the recovery of otitis media and prevent the spread of inflammation, resulting in aggravation of the problem of eardrum perforation.

Secondly, after the basic resolution of otitis media, the patient's eardrum perforation will basically heal itself, but if there is no self-healing phenomenon, then the patient should consider surgery to prevent hearing from being affected.

Finally, in the process of **, patients should also pay more attention to the cleaning of the ear canal to avoid problems such as bacterial breeding in the ear canal, which will affect the ** in the ear, and also pay attention to avoid taking a plane or diving, so as to avoid changes in the pressure in the ear and outside the ear, resulting in the aggravation of the perforation. And we should also pay more attention to the warmth of the body to avoid the phenomenon of colds in the body, so as to prevent the aggravation of ear inflammation and prevent ear problems.

When the eardrum perforation has been caused, it is usually carried out by surgery, and there is a period of maintenance after the completion of the operation.

In otitis media, when the tympanic membrane is perforated, it is considered that the pressure in the tympanic chamber is relatively large, and the tympanic membrane will be punctured, so that the pain will not only be reduced, but also the pus will flow out easily, but if it is a perforation of the tympanic membrane caused by inflammation, sensitive antibiotics need to be used to actively control the inflammation. After piercing, avoid water in the ears, especially when washing your face and hair or taking a bath. If the perforated area of the eardrum is not very large, in the case of infection control, the tympanic membrane epithelium is generally able to heal spontaneously due to its strong regenerative ability.

However, if the tympanic membrane perforation area is relatively large and the inflammation cannot be controlled in time, the tympanic membrane repair surgery cannot be performed temporarily, and it can only be observed first. If the inflammation is completely controlled and the tympanic membrane perforation does not heal on its own, tympanic membrane repair surgery may be an option.

Break up, it's boring, don't care so much, the person who wants to leave can't stay, be kind to yourself.

First of all, it is recommended that you can be conservative**, for example, you can use a drug such as ofloxacin ear drops** as prescribed, or you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide or boric acid water to clean your ear canal, or yes.

The eardrum is fragile, and perforation can occur once the eardrum is affected by inflammation or trauma. Patients have symptoms such as pain in the ear, hearing loss, etc., which are likely to be caused by perforated eardrum, but to determine whether the eardrum is perforated or not, it is recommended to go to the ottologist for detailed examination, and the results are more accurate.

If there is a purulent discharge, if there is a large amount of purulent discharge, if the pain decreases suddenly, and if the pressure in the ear gradually decreases, tympanic membrane perforation may be considered.

The easiest way is to have pus and water in the ear, if there is a symptom of pus and water, the possibility of perforation of the eardrum is very high, of course, it is necessary to rule out eczema in the external auditory canal, otitis externa and other conditions that can cause water in the ear.

Generally, it is to see if our hearing is affected, if there is no clear hearing before, then there may be no problem.

If it is a perforation, you may not be able to hear the sound, so it is best to go to the hospital to have a good look
