How can I tell if I have otitis media?

To determine whether there is otitis media, patients can first observe their clinical symptoms, whether there is obvious ear pain, ear stuffiness, hearing loss, tinnitus and purulent discharge in the ear canal. If the patient has the above abnormal manifestations, he should go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital as soon as possible for routine blood examination, otoscopy and hearing examination to determine the severity of the patient's ear inflammation, observe whether it is accompanied by tympanic membrane perforation, and determine the severity of the impact of otitis media on the patient's hearing and the type of otitis media.

If you have otitis media, it will be very painful, the abscess inside the ear, pain, and affect sleep. If you have otitis media, it is best to go to the hospital for ENT examination,**.

Patients can first observe their clinical symptoms for significant earache, ear stuffiness, hearing loss, tinnitus, and purulent discharge in the ear canal. If the patient has any of the above abnormalities, he or she should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

The main symptoms of otitis media are a feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Hearing loss is mainly manifested by hearing loss, which is somewhat dull in response to sounds; In the case of acute otitis media, the first manifestation is usually a dull earache, sometimes persistent, sometimes convulsive; In addition, low-key intermittent tinnitus is also a clear symptom of otitis media.

Otitis media must be timely**, because otitis media will bring a lot of inconvenience to life, in addition, if there is no surgery, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is generally better, and the otitis media is blown into the ear every day, and it can be good if you insist on about two courses of treatment. In addition, don't pluck your ears too hard, pay more attention to exercise, and reduce colds is also a good way to prevent otitis media!

1.Press the inner ear canal with a clean cotton swab to see if there are any symptoms of pus. 2.

Massage your ears to feel if they are painful and itchy. 3.Pay attention to your ears in your daily life for symptoms of tinnitus.

Most of the early symptoms of otitis media are itchy and painful tinnitus, and a small number of patients will also have pus in the early stage of otitis media.

1. Acute purulent otitis media: there is severe earache, even accompanied by fever, headache in severe cases, tympanic membrane perforation in severe acute inflammation, and purulent discharge will flow out of the ear canal at this time;

2. Acute secretory otitis media: the severity is lower than that of acute purulent otitis media, and the severity of earache is relatively low, but there will be ear swelling, slight hearing loss, and low-key tinnitus.

3. Chronic purulent otitis media: its main symptoms are perforation of the eardrum, hearing loss, and repeated ear discharge.

Due to the different stages of otitis media, the principles are also different, and the specific plan needs to be decided according to the doctor's detailed examination and diagnosis.

The way to determine your otitis media is to have your eardrum examined, and you can also do a hearing test. If you suffer from otitis media, most of them are caused by the obstruction of the eustachian tube, and it may be caused by bacterial or viral infection.

The main symptoms of otitis media are as follows:

Symptom 1: Hearing loss. Hearing gradually deteriorates, and self-hearing is obvious. When the head is tilted forward and on the unaffected side, hearing is temporarily improved due to the fluid drifting away from the snail.

When the effusion is viscous, the hearing does not change due to changes in the position of the head. Children often have a dull sense of sound, inability to concentrate, poor academic performance and other phenomena, so parents bring them to seek medical attention.

Symptom 2: Earache. Acute patients may have mild earache, which is usually the first symptom of the patient, and may be persistent or throbbing, but not obvious in chronic patients. This disease often causes a feeling of occlusion and fullness in the ear, and if the tragus is pressed, it will be temporarily lightened.

Symptom 3: Tinnitus. It usually manifests as low-key intermittent, such as "crackling", buzzing, etc. When there is head movement, yawning, and blowing the nose, there may be a sound of water in the ear.

After understanding the methods introduced above to determine whether you have otitis media, you can judge whether you have otitis media by comparing the above to determine whether you have otitis media. Of course, these may not be accurate, so I hope you can go to the hospital as soon as possible**.

How can I tell if I have otitis media? It should be very uncomfortable in the ears. And there will be foreign bodies. You should go to the hospital for a check-up.

The ways to determine whether there is otitis media are:1Press the inner ear canal with a clean cotton swab to see if there are any symptoms of pus. 2.Massage your ears to feel if they are painful and itchy. 3.Pay attention to your ears in your daily life for symptoms of tinnitus.

Symptoms and otoscopy can be used to determine whether it is otitis media. 1. Symptoms. 1. If watery, bloody, purulent discharge comes out of the external auditory canal, and it is accompanied by foul smell, most of it is otitis media, or even middle ear cholesteatoma.

2. If the external auditory canal discharges secretions during a cold, it indicates that otitis media has occurred. Because at this time the tympanic membrane may already have perforation and inflammation.

1. The patient has hearing loss. When suffering from otitis media, patients will experience varying degrees of hearing loss, and sometimes self-hearing. When the patient tilts his head forward, the hearing loss is temporarily improved due to the fluid in the ear that deviates from the snail.

Of course, if otitis media is already very severe and the fluid in the ear is thick, the patient's hearing loss will not improve significantly even if the head position is changed.

2. In addition to hearing loss, earache is another precursor to otitis media. In the case of acute otitis media, mild otalgia is usually the first symptom of the patient, and if this mild otalgia is not taken seriously, it may turn into persistent otalgia or even accompanied by throbbing symptoms in the later stage, which mainly occurs in patients with acute otitis media, and these symptoms are not very obvious in patients with chronic otitis media. In addition, patients with otitis media may also feel fullness or occlusion in the ear, and these discomforts will be relieved to varying degrees when the tragus is pressed with the hand.

3. In addition, tinnitus is also a clear sign of otitis media. When a patient has some low-key intermittent tinnitus, such as a buzzing sound in the ear or can hear some "popping" sounds, it is important to be alert to whether they have otitis media.

Diagnosis of otitis media, acute purulent otitis media, is generally caused by earache, pus in the ear, tympanic membrane hyperemia or perforation. Chronic purulent otitis media is mainly caused by hearing loss, repeated pus discharge in the ear, and tinnitus in some patients.

After the patient arrives at the hospital, the doctor will use a pneumatic otoscope to see if the eardrum has an infection in the middle ear cavity or whether the fluid has accumulated behind the eardrum to determine whether there is otitis media.

Judging one's own otitis media is mainly determined by whether one's body temperature is elevated, whether there is pain buried in the ear, and tinnitus, because generally otitis media will have an increase in body temperature and tinnitus, earache and hearing loss.

The symptoms of otitis media are divided into two parts:

Clause. First, it is a symptom of purulent otitis media;

Clause. Second, it is a symptom of non-purulent otitis media. Purulent otitis media is divided into acute purulent otitis media and chronic purulent otitis media, in which the symptoms of acute purulent otitis media are mainly earache, which is manifested as pins and needles or throbbing pain.

Usually after the tympanic membrane is perforated, the earache disappears immediately, and the symptoms of ear pus can appear at this time.

Patients with acute purulent otitis media often have systemic symptoms, such as chills and fever, and in children, systemic symptoms are often more obvious, sometimes with high fever, convulsions, nausea, and vomiting. Chronic suppurative otitis media has milder systemic symptoms than in acute patients. In patients with chronic suppurative otitis media, the main symptoms are intermittent or persistent discharge of pus, perforation of the tympanic membrane, and hearing loss.

In patients with non-purulent otitis media, the main clinical manifestations are a feeling of fullness and occlusion in the ears and eyes, sometimes tinnitus, the sound of water flowing in the ears, and hearing loss. If you have any of the above symptoms, please go to a regular hospital for medical treatment.

There are many types of otitis media, with earache, ear discharge, hearing loss, etc. If the middle ear causes a bacterial infection, etc., it will cause suppuration, and ear stuffiness will turn into earache. During the acute suppurative phase, the earache is severe and can be instantly relieved once the tympanic membrane is perforated.

Secretory otitis media is a condition in which secretions accumulate within the tympanic chamber without overflowing, and purulent otitis media is caused by a perforation of the eardrum due to the accumulation of pus, resulting in a discharge of pus. Cholesteatoma otitis media presents with cholesteatoma epithelial discharge with foul-smelling discharge.

In addition, hearing loss is also a prominent feature of otitis media. Reverse otitis media can cause persistent hearing loss, accompanied by neural hearing loss and tinnitus. In addition, vertigo, facial paralysis, meningitis, petrositis, labyrinthitis, and neck abscess are also serious complications of otitis media.

Hearing loss or deafness.

It mostly occurs on one side.

Secretory otitis media may present with a noticeable increase in the voice of one's own speech, which may be reduced by lowering one's head forward or tilting one's head toward the side that is not affected.

After pus from acute purulent otitis media flows out of the ear canal, the symptoms of hearing loss or deafness are reduced.

Children who cannot hear or hear sounds clearly may experience slowed response to sounds and decreased concentration.

Otalgia. In secretory otitis media, the earache may be persistent, or it may resolve spontaneously after a while.

In acute purulent otitis media, the ear pain is severe, throbbing or tingling, and may be accompanied by headache and toothache on the affected side. The pain is relieved after pus drains from the ear canal.

Chronic otitis media has milder earache.

Tinnitus. An unusual noise can be heard, independent of ambient sounds.

The sound may be crackling, buzzing.

When the head is moved, yawning, pinching the nose and puffing up, the sound of gas passing through the liquid (a "gurgling" sound) can be heard.

Stuffy ears. It may present with a feeling of occlusion and fullness.

It is usually caused by more discharge from the middle ear.

Ear tightness caused by secretory otitis media can be temporarily relieved by repeated compression of the tragus (the cartilage structure in the middle of the anterior side of the ear).

Pus from the ear canal. It is one of the most common manifestations of purulent otitis media and can occur after tympanic membrane perforation.

Acute suppurative otitis media begins with blood and progresses to thick pus.

Chronic purulent otitis media may present with recurrent manifestations of pus, which may be accompanied by blood.

Other symptoms. Fever.

It is more common in acute otitis media.

Digestive disorders.

Loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur. It is usually a concomitant symptom of acute purulent otitis media.

Vertigo. Some acute purulent otitis media can cause vertigo.

Vertigo can be manifested as a sensation of self or things around you spinning.

Sleep disturbances. When symptoms such as earache, tinnitus, and pus in the ear canal are severe, they can cause insomnia or wake up suddenly due to pain.

Acute suppurative otitis media has severe pain before perforating the eardrum and radiates to the ipsilateral head or teeth. Once the tympanic membrane is perforated, the pain will also be reduced.

Middle ear infections (i.e., acute otitis media) usually begin to show symptoms 2 to 7 days after a cold or other upper respiratory tract infection.

Common symptoms include earache, fever, thick, yellow or blood-red fluid from the ear, and other symptoms such as pressure in the ear if fluid accumulates in the ear.

Symptoms of ear infections can include: Earache (mild to severe).

Fever. The ear discharges a thick, yellow or blood-red fluid. This means that the eardrum may have ruptured and perforated. A perforated eardrum usually heals on its own within a few weeks.

Loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea.

Sleep problems.

Fluid accumulation can lead to symptoms such as:

Tinnitus or a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear.

Hearing loss is present. Patients may appear absent-minded or inattentive, or they may be short-tempered or clumsy.

Balance disturbances, such as vertigo.
