Acute otitis media is serious and why is it acute otitis media

The severity varies depending on the situation.

Different types of otitis media have different characteristics, non-purulent otitis media such as catarrhal otitis media can have symptoms such as hearing loss, stuffiness, and excessive self-hearing, purulent otitis media is divided into acute otitis media and chronic otitis media, acute otitis media can have symptoms such as earache, hearing loss, and pus in the external auditory canal, chronic otitis media is divided into chronic simple otitis media, chronic osteolitic otitis media and chronic cholesteatoma otitis media, all have long-term symptoms of pus drainage in the external auditory canal, hearing loss symptoms, osteolitic and cholesteatoma otitis media pus has a foul smell, Can cause brain abscess.

Acute catarrhal otitis media is generally caused by the imbalance of middle ear pressure (tympanic negative pressure) due to the imbalance of the middle ear pressure (tympanic negative pressure) caused by nasal mucosal edema, hyperemia, nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissue hyperplasia, nasopharyngeal cancer, etc. Corticosteroids + antibiotics + nitrofura nasal drops, and Eustachian tube distension if necessary, are generally not difficult in the early stages**. In the later stage, i.e., in the chronic phase, if the Eustachian tube does not recover well and the tympanic effusion does not resolve, tyringocentesis (aspiration) or tympanomestia may be done.

Systemic antibiotics for patients with acute purulent otitis media with unperforated tympanic membrane**, phenol glycerin ear drops for severe ear pain, and nasal drops with fur hemp fluid for acute rhinitis; Patients with perforated eardrum should not use phenolic glycerin ear drops, they should use hydrogen peroxide to clean the external ear canal and middle ear, and then use antibiotic ear drops after cleaning.

Chronic otitis media is divided into chronic simple otitis media, chronic osteotic otitis media, and chronic cholesteatoma otitis media. Chronic simple otitis media should use hydrogen peroxide solution to clean the external auditory canal and middle ear, clean the purulent secretions of the external auditory canal and middle ear, blot or wipe dry, and then use antibiotic ear drops ear drops, with the use of antibiotics throughout the body**, generally can control acute inflammation, after the inflammation control of the mucosa in the middle ear returns to normal, no secretion, this is called "dry ear", after the dry ear, if the eustachian tube function is normal, tympanic membrane repair can be done, in order to achieve the purpose of **; In the case of chronic osteotic otitis media and chronic cholesteatoma otitis media, surgery is necessary to completely remove the risk of intracranial infection, open and drain the tympanic cavity and tympanic sinus, remove inflammatory tissue and cholesteatoma, and finally perform tympanoplasty as appropriate.

ENT team, sincerely solve your doubts and be satisfied.

Otitis media is usually treated with topical or systemic medications or surgery**, which is effective. If left unreasonable**, serious complications can occur.

Clause. 1. Some people are due to poor daily work and rest, resulting in lack of sleep, or because of excessive pressure, people are too tired, and when the body's immunity is weakened, it will be easy for bacteria to invade, resulting in the appearance of acute otitis media. Everyone should pay attention to decompression and not overwork.

Clause. 2. Water in the ear, swimming or bathing accidentally let the sewage into the ear, it is easy to lead to the entry of bacteria, if there is trauma to the ear, it will accelerate the spread of bacteria, resulting in the rapid development of acute otitis media. Therefore, when we play in the swimming pool outside, if the water accidentally enters the ear canal, we must dry it in time.

Clause. 3. If the patient has a cold or flu and has an upper respiratory tract infection, the throat is congested and swollen, resulting in the middle ear area being implicated, redness and swelling, leading to the appearance of acute otitis media.

Clause. Fourth, caused by other conditions, such as a lot of ** snot or sneezing, too much force, resulting in strong tension in the ear, Eustachian tube by external impact and squeezed, resulting in otitis media.

Otitis media is an inflammatory lesion involving all or part of the structure of the middle ear (including eustachian tubes, tympanic cavity, tympanic sinus, and mastoid air chamber), and the vast majority of them are nonspecific inflammation, especially in children. It can be divided into two categories: non-purulent and purulent.

Acute otitis media is an acute purulent inflammation of the mucosa of the middle ear, most commonly infected by the Eustachian tube route. After a cold, the inflammation of the pharynx and nose spreads to the eustachian tube, the mucosa of the pharyngeal opening and lumen of the eustachian tube is congested and swollen, the ciliary movement is impaired, and the pathogenic bacteria invade the middle ear, causing otitis media. The common pathogens are mainly pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, etc., so preventing colds can reduce the chance of otitis media.

In addition, if there is chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and chronic tonsillitis, bacteria may repeatedly invade the middle ear cavity, and otitis media may latent to cause chronic otitis media.

Chronic otitis media is divided into three types according to the duration of the disease and the severity of the disease: simple, abscessive and cholesteatoma. Their common manifestation is that they all have pus in the ear, which is recurring, and sometimes the pus is mixed with bloody discharge; In addition, there is tinnitus and hearing loss, and if complications occur, there will be dizziness and headache.

Hello, there are many reasons for the appearance of acute otitis media, and most of them are caused by bacterial infection.

The more common pathogenic bacteria are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, beta-hemolytic streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.

In addition, it also has a lot to do with immune factors, in the immune response, inflammatory mediators will cause congestion and edema of the eustachian tube and mucous membrane, and increased secretions may cause the Eustachian tube to be blocked, resulting in negative pressure in the middle ear and acute otitis media.

No matter what the cause of acute otitis media, patients should pay great attention to it, and need to go to the Department of Otolaryngology of Yishouhong Hospital as soon as possible, and cooperate with the doctor to carry out relevant examinations and treatment, so as not to delay the condition, so as not to increase the difficulty of modeling.

Otitis media is a very common and well-known ear disease in children and adolescents, especially in pediatrics. Otitis media has a very great impact on children's hearing, and serious conditions can also cause very bad consequences for children's lives, so parents and friends must be vigilant. We generally divide otitis media into acute and chronic, different symptoms have different methods, parents should know how to distinguish and seek medical attention in time.

The common pathogens of acute otitis media are pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae, etc., so as long as the cold is prevented, the probability of getting acute otitis media can be reduced to a certain extent. Acute otitis media is mostly affected by infants and young children, and in severe cases, it can even lead to deafness. Symptoms of acute otitis media are:

Sudden onset of earache, often accompanied by a cold or cough; Run a fever; Pus may drain from the patient's ear canal; Hearing failure, and so on. Chronic otitis media is caused by long-term lesions in the absence of acute otitis media, sometimes combined with tympanic membrane perforation and pus flowing from the middle ear. If acute suppurative otitis media is not prompted**, it will turn into chronic purulent otitis media.

For chronic otitis media, attention should be paid to the prompt occurrence of acute otitis media and active upper respiratory tract infection. Using the method of local **, the drug should be selected according to different lesions, and the ears can be washed with hydrogen peroxide and then with antibiotic water or a mixture of antibiotics and glucocorticoids. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent complications and preserve the patient's hearing structure, and observation and surgery can be performed according to the patient's condition**.

For acute otitis media, the most important way is to use sufficient antibiotics to control the degree of infection, and in general, penicillins and cephalosporins are selected. If you have a fever or have systemic symptoms, you can use cooling**.

It is mainly caused by acute bacterial infection. There are many specific causes, the more common ones are colds, acute rhinitis, acute sinusitis, eustachian chitis, and it may also be caused by water in the ears after washing hair and bathing, and a small number of patients are caused by ear trauma.

Many factors can cause patients to develop acute otitis media, such as Eustachian tube infection, and in acute upper respiratory tract infection, bacteria can also invade the middle ear through the Eustachian tube to cause infection. In addition, some acute infectious diseases can also induce the occurrence of acute otitis media.

There are several causes of acute otitis media:

1.Bacterial or viral infections. After pathogenic bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae enter the eustachian tube of the human body, they may cause inflammatory changes in the mucous membrane, leading to the appearance of acute otitis media.

2.Upper respiratory tract infections such as acute rhinitis and hypertrophic rhinitis may cause dysfunction of the eustachian tubes, causing acute otitis media.

3.If the neck tumor is treated with radiotherapy, etc., the body's immune response may cause tympanic effusion, leading to the appearance of acute otitis media.

4.Acute otitis media occurs due to drastic changes in the air pressure in the ear canal caused by airplanes, diving, etc., causing changes in the environment around the eardrum.

Take 5 whole scorpions of silkworm cocoons, 3g of alum, and 1g of borneolCalamine 2gThe alum is packed into a silkworm cocoon, burned into a charcoal form with charcoal, and the charcoal is ground into fine powder together with whole scorpion borneol, realgar and calamine.

Rub the medicinal cotton into thin strips, dip a little of the end of the drug, put it in the affected ear, change the dressing 2 3 times a day, clean the patient's external ear canal with hydrogen peroxide before changing the dressing, this method has the effect of detoxifying and amassing sores and building muscle and stopping bleeding. It can be used for acute and chronic otitis media, pus in the ear, filthy smell and itching pain in the ear. Pay attention to rest and ensure sleep time.

Pay attention to indoor air circulation and keep the nasal passages open. Positive ** nasal disease: Blowing the nose can not be forcefully and at the same time the two nostrils should cross the unilateral blowing of the nose. After swimming, let the water in the ears flow out, and people with chronic otitis media should not swim.

Actively prevent and treat colds.

Otitis media complications 1, purulent otitis media if not timely**, the human body will have fever, cold intolerance, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and other systemic toxic reactions, earache is particularly severe.
