Symptoms and treatment of acute otitis media in three year old children

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.

What are the symptoms of otitis media in children? Experts said that otitis media should be detected early to avoid the disease endangering the health of children.

1. Early stage: children show lack of energy, loss of appetite, tinnitus, ear discomfort, etc. (children will not express), but the discomfort of the ears will affect the baby's play and sleep. During this examination, doctors may find an inverted eardrum (medically called eardrum) and fluid in the middle ear.

2. Progressive stage: manifested as high fever, body temperature up to 39 40, children crying, hearing loss and earache, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other digestive symptoms. These manifestations resemble a cold or enteritis and are easily overlooked or misdiagnosed.

On examination, the eardrum may be congested, and the ossicle may be red and swollen, and bulging.

3. Peak period: children with high fever, refusal to eat, gray complexion, fluctuating tinnitus, hearing loss and earache radiating to the surroundings in severe cases. Examination may reveal a bulging eardrum and empyema in the middle ear.

4. Late stage: Generally, after 4-5 days of illness, the child's body temperature drops, the earache disappears, and he can fall asleep, but the eardrum is ruptured, pus flows out of the ear canal, and tinnitus and hearing loss still exist.

2. Otitis media**.

In terms of otitis media, there is no specific drug for the time being, and experts recommend: "tympanoplasty" **otitis media, **thorough, **bitter, not after surgery**, because of its good ** effect has won the trust of the majority of patients.

1. Ear endoscopy for fine examination of ear lesions, one of the keys to ensuring the safety of surgery is to fully expose the surgical field.

2. The use of ear microscopy technology to locate the lesions in the deep and hidden places of the ear can effectively reduce the difficulty risk and improve the accuracy.

3. Guidance of ear endoscope and otomicroscope.

4. The surgical purpose of otitis media can be achieved by performing surgery such as tyringocentesis, myringotomy, tympanic catheterization, etc.

After reading your above situation, the symptoms of yellow fluid with fever from the ears are first considered to be caused by acute otitis media, and the first antibiotic is anti-inflammatory**, such as intravenous cefatizole combined with penicillin antibiotics for a course of 5-7 days, and oral antibiotics can be changed to oral antibiotics to consolidate after the symptoms improve.

First of all, babies with acute otitis media will also have characteristics, that is, if the baby often pulls or pulls his ears, this phenomenon means that it may be an earache or headache. There is also a baby diarrhea, in fact, there is also a virus infected by the ear.

Otitis media is difficult to cure, and otitis media is not timely, it may affect the baby's hearing in the future, so once you find that you have otitis media, you should go to it in time, otitis media is also divided into acute and chronic, acute onset will be more urgent, so how should the baby acute otitis media?

Baby's acute otitis media needs to be timely**, you can take drugs to **, if the baby's acute otitis media is not very serious, the drug can recover very well, but the baby's acute otitis media needs to be instilled**, and the infusion needs to be combined with drugs at the same time**.

If acute otitis media in babies becomes chronic, then it is very difficult**. During the baby's acute otitis media**, parents carefully observe whether the baby has a fever, if there are fever symptoms, it may be suppurated, at this time, you need to go to the hospital in time for examination**, you may have to cut the tympanic membrane for pus, which can effectively prevent intracranial infection.

Baby's acute otitis media may be caused by a cold, or it may be caused by water in the ear, so first of all, go to the ear department of a regular hospital for examination, cooperate with taking drugs, and use ear drops according to the doctor's instructions.

Usually the baby's acute otitis media manifestations are more obvious, such as the baby suddenly feels ear pain, the baby's acute otitis media is serious and there will be pus outflow, once there are related symptoms, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delay**.

Otitis media in children is a relatively common clinical disease, first of all, it is necessary to look at the specific degree and type of disease, if the inflammatory response is relatively mild, it is indeed possible to recover on its own, but in the process of recovery, it is necessary to regularly review and observe the changes in the condition, if the inflammatory response is more severe and cannot recover on its own, it is necessary to consider drugs**, the more common is acute otitis media, or secretory otitis media.

Generally speaking, oral antibiotics can be considered, most patients ** cycle is about a week, and at the same time need to keep the external auditory canal dry, can not enter water, can not blow the nose vigorously, and need to try to avoid colds, through the standard drug ** can generally be gradually recovered.

Three-year-old baby otitis media should be given the same amount according to the severity of the inflammation**, otitis media is generally due to inflammatory lesions caused by bacterial venereal diseases, I am mild otitis media, you can choose cephalosporin antibiotics**, if the examination finds that the baby's otitis media is very serious, or there is obvious suppuration** infection, it is recommended to carry out infusion** It is more safe, pay attention to the baby's body temperature changes, pay attention to keeping warm, eat lightly, and the baby has otitis media to go to a regular hospital**.

Acute otitis media in children is generally a Staphylococcus aureus infection, so to fight inflammation, you can choose to use ceftriaxone sodium, cefazolin sodium, cefotaxime sodium for infusion**.

When children have otitis media, they need to use antibiotics to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory**, because this disease is easy**, so the time to use antibiotics is at least 7 days, or even 10 days, and complete anti-inflammatory can reduce the disease**.

<> more common symptoms are ear pain, pus in the ear canal, repeated ear scratching, and some patients will experience tinnitus and hearing loss. Specific symptoms vary from person to person, depending on the severity and type of otitis media.

After the onset of the disease, it is necessary to go to the otolaryngology department, and you can do routine blood tests and ear endoscopy, which will help to make a preliminary judgment of the condition and a clear diagnosis. Most patients can choose drugs**, and in the process of medication**, they need to observe the recovery of the condition, and they need to keep the external auditory canal dry, not water, and try to avoid colds.

Common symptoms of otitis media are: ear pain, ear pus, hearing loss, ear stuffiness, tinnitus, etc. It can be caused by water ingress in the ear, Eustachian tube infection, and pressure changes in the middle ear cavity.

Suggestions: There are two kinds of otitis media, one is purulent otitis media, which is mostly caused by colds. The first ear pain is obvious, swelling pain, and fever may be present, and the pain is relieved after the tympanic membrane is perforated and pus is discharged.

The other is called non-purulent otitis media. This type of otitis media does not drain pus, but only the ears are stuffy, hearing loss, or there is tinnitus. This is caused by a change in pressure in the middle ear cavity caused by inflammation of the Eustachian tube.

It is recommended to do an otoendoscopy to confirm the diagnosis of the condition, and then target the condition according to the condition**.

1. Acute otitis media: It is usually manifested as children who are afraid of cold and cold, often have a fever, always feel tired, and are always lazy, especially small children may also have vomiting, diarrhea and other phenomena.

2. Chronic otitis media: It is usually manifested as long-term pus in the ear, sometimes there is bleeding in the process of pus, and even a bad smell. Once the above phenomenon occurs, parents must not take it lightly and should immediately go to the relevant hospital for **.

** Methods of otitis media in children.

1. Catarrhal otitis media.

Catarrhal otitis media is non-purulent otitis media, and the main manifestations of patients are ear stuffiness and hearing loss. A history of colds is often preceded by illness, and mild earache may occur in the acute phase. Otitis media with effusion is a common cause of deafness in children, and it is very important to strengthen the prevention of this disease to prevent and treat deafness in children.

The most important measure is to exercise the body and strengthen the body's immunity. In addition to the systemic application of antibacterial and antiviral drugs, local nasal drops are particularly important in the treatment of otitis media.

2. Acute purulent otitis media.

Patients often present acutely and present with fever and earache and ear discharge. In children with acute purulent otitis media, more attention should be paid to the timely discharge of pus in the tympanic chamber to prevent damage to the ossicular chain. Therefore, for the treatment of acute purulent otitis media in children, it is the rational use of antibiotics and myringotomy to smooth drainage, and the latter is more important for otitis media.

3. Chronic purulent otitis media.

It is mostly caused by acute purulent otitis media or water ingress in the ear. Prevention of colds and the prevention of unclean water in the ears are the key to prevention. In addition, some children can have congenital cholesteatoma and need surgery** otitis media.

After a three-year-old child suffers from otitis media, he can use external methods, drugs, and auxiliary methods, and he also needs to remove the pus in time, so that the disease can recover faster.

Most patients have the option of medication**. In the case of acute suppurative otitis media, antibiotics can be used to fight the infection**, and cephalosporins or penicillins are more commonly used.

When children have otitis media, they need to use antibiotics to be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory**, because this disease is easy**, so the time of antibiotics should be at least 7 days, or even 10 days, and complete anti-inflammatory can reduce the ** rate of the disease.

It is recommended to take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Otitis media in three-year-olds can be caused by a respiratory infection. Patients usually have severe ear pain, crying and other symptoms, and in severe cases, the lymph nodes around the ear may be significantly swollen, and even accompanied by repeated high fever. If the patient's tympanic membrane congestion is obvious, it can easily lead to the formation of perforation, and there may be purulent secretions flowing out of the ear, which needs to be checked by the otolaryngology department of the hospital in time.
