What causes infants and young children to be susceptible to otitis media?

There are different types of otitis media in children

Secretory otitis media can be associated with a variety of factors, including Eustachian tube dysfunction, infection, immune response, etc.

Acute otitis media is mostly caused by acute infection of bacteria or viruses.

Chronic suppurative otitis media can be caused by otitis media or immunocompromise.

Some studies have shown that the most common bacterial pathogen of otitis media in children is Streptococcus pneumoniae, followed by Haemophilus influenzae and Staphylococcus aureus.

Secretory otitis media.

**Complex, may be related to a variety of factors.

Eustachian tube dysfunction: such as Eustachian tube obstruction, Eustachian tube cleaning and defense dysfunction.

Infection: Common pathogens are Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Gastroesophageal reflux theory: This disease may be related to the development of gastroesophageal function in children, caused by gastric reflux and reflux into the eustachian tube.

Acute otitis media.

Each pathogen can invade the middle ear through three routes: eustachian tube, external auditory canal-tympanic membrane, or bloodstream infection.

Chronic purulent otitis media.

Acute otitis media is not complete, the course of the disease is prolonged or the lesion is deeply involved.

Otitis media is reversed and does not heal for a long time.

Patients have decreased resistance for various reasons.

Otitis media is a common cause of earache in children. Otitis media usually occurs in children under 8 years of age. It is usually a painful complication caused by an upper respiratory tract infection, such as the common cold or throat infection.

Blowing your nose inappropriately can also lead to otitis media. Swallowing water into the mouth should be avoided when swimming, so as not to enter the middle ear through the nasopharynx and cause otitis media. Nasopharyngeal lymphoid tissue hyperplasia easily obstructs the eustachian tube and oropharyngeal orifice, obstructs drainage, and causes otitis media.

Children's lack of self-protection, such as ear damage caused by swimming in unclean water, ear digging and inflammation of the external auditory canal** are not timely, etc., can easily lead to otitis media. Infants and young children often have otitis media with improper diet, malnutrition, and low immunity.

Suggestions: First of all, the anatomy of children's ears has not yet been developed, and secondly, the physiological characteristics of children themselves: children have low resistance, poor immunity, and are prone to various respiratory diseases, so it is easy to induce otitis media due to respiratory tract infection; Third, it is the pathological characteristics of children, which are also the causes of otitis media.

Children are susceptible to otitis media for many reasons. Some children are caused by poor self-resistance; It may also be due to the fact that children are prone to colds, and acute otitis media may be induced after a cold;

Infants and young children are highly susceptible to otitis media, which presents with painful inflammation of the middle ear, accompanied by earache and fever. Otitis media with overflow is fluid that appears in the middle ear, sometimes causing mild, transient hearing loss. There are several reasons why infants and young children are susceptible to this condition.

One is that their immune system is still developing, making them susceptible to colds or other viral infections. The second is that the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the larynx, is short and horizontal, making it easier for bacteria to enter the middle ear from the larynx. When children catch a cold, their eustachian tube swells, the space between the eardrum and the eustachian tube is filled with fluid, the fluid brings pain and pressure to the eardrum, and becomes a good breeding ground for bacteria, resulting in purulent otitis media, and in severe cases, the eardrum is perforated, pus flows out, and the pain is reduced. By the time children go to school, their middle ear structures begin to develop, their immune function improves, and the incidence of otitis media decreases.

Is otitis media contagious? Otitis media itself is not contagious, but respiratory diseases such as colds are contagious, and they are the triggers of otitis media, and isolating children from sick children can avoid the onset of otitis media, especially in winter. Since otitis media is an ordinary disease, is it not necessary to pay too much attention to it?

Frequent otitis media, if left unchecked, can lead to permanent hearing loss, further delaying and impairing the child's ability to speak. Because normal hearing before the age of 3 years is essential for the development of language function. Therefore, if your child suffers from otitis media, it is important to seek medical attention in time.

In some special cases, otitis media can also lead to serious complications such as mastoiditis, meningitis, etc., or disrupt balance. How can I tell if my child has otitis media? If your child frequently complains of ear pain or pressure, fever, or sneezing, he or she may have otitis media.

Babies put the most pressure on their ear drums when feeding, swallowing, or lying flat at night, exacerbating the pain. Other symptoms include irritability, hearing loss, loss of appetite, and yellowing or bloody fluid from the ears. For babies who are unable to express themselves, it is all up to the careful observation of their parents.

What are the susceptible children to otitis media? Otitis media is inflammation of the mucosa of the tympanic chamber of the middle ear, usually caused by bacterial infection. Otitis media usually occurs in children under 8 years of age, but also in other age groups, and is often a painful complication of an upper respiratory tract infection such as the common cold or throat infection.

So what are the ** children who are susceptible to otitis media? The following is an introduction to the ** of children suffering from otitis media.

What are the susceptible children to otitis media?

1. The position of the eustachian tube in children is low and flat, the lumen is short and thick, and it is easy to choke on breast milk in the supine position, so that the milk enters the middle ear by mistake;

2. The cartilage part of the eustachian tube is weak and cannot be opened on its own;

3. The development of the middle ear immune system is not perfect;

4. Edema and hyperplasia of tonsils after infection are easy to block the pharyngeal opening of the eustachian tube;

5. Bacteria and viruses remain in the adenoids, which can directly or indirectly cause middle ear infection;

6. The mastoid air chamber is underdeveloped, and the air reserve is insufficient;

Children under the age of age often have interstitial or inner bud tissue, which is flap-like obstruction of the Eustachian tube;

8. Children are susceptible to nasal and upper respiratory tract diseases, which affect the function of eustachian tubes;

9. The central nervous system of children is in the stage of development, with poor regulatory function, low immunity, and easy to suffer from upper respiratory tract diseases.

Otitis media in infants and young children is often associated with incorrect feeding posture. Most infants and young children suffer from otitis media because mothers or nannies try to save trouble when breastfeeding, let the baby lie down to feed, or feed too much and too quickly during artificial feeding, so that the baby has no time to swallow and choke, which may cause milk to flow backward into the nasopharynx and enter the middle ear from the eustachian tube to cause acute otitis media. In addition, it may also be otitis media caused by colds, colds, and upper respiratory tract infections.

The reason why infants and young children are susceptible to otitis media is because of inadequate cleaning and hygiene or heat in the body, so it must be checked in a targeted manner, so that it is more conducive to the recovery of health.

Otitis media is due to the patient's low immunity, so it is susceptible to the disease.

Children are susceptible to otitis media for many reasons. Some children are caused by poor self-resistance; It may also be due to the fact that children are prone to colds, and acute otitis media may be induced after a cold; It is also possible that long-term tonsil hypertrophy and adenoid hypertrophy can easily lead to secretory otitis media.

Therefore, the specific cause and severity of the condition vary from person to person. After the onset of the disease, a visit to an otolaryngologist is recommended. Routine blood testing and otoendoscopy can be done, which will help to preliminarily judge the condition and make a clear diagnosis.

In the process, it is necessary to go to the outpatient clinic regularly for re-examination to observe the effect. Overall, the majority of patients** have a good outcome.

This is mainly because of the particularity of their eustachian tube structure, due to the physiological relationship between the inner ear tube and oral anatomy, the eustachian tube of infants and young children is straight and short, which is most likely to cause bacterial and viral infection, and it is easy to bring the inflammation of the nasopharynx to the middle ear, especially the poor resistance of infants and young children, and it is easy to catch a cold

Otitis media is due to the patient's low immunity, so it is susceptible to the disease.

Rhinitis sinusitis**, otitis media caused by retrograde infection of the Eustachian tube, because the eustachian tube in children is short and flat, so it is easy to lead to local infection, in **.

Why are infants and young children susceptible to otitis media? There is a comparison value for infants and young children, so if you catch a cold, it is easy to get otitis media.

Infants and young children are prone to otitis media for the following reasons:1Low resistance, easy to secondary bacterial and viral infection; 2.

The eustachian tube in infants and young children is relatively low and flat, and bacteria and viruses are easy to enter; 3.The adenoids of infantile pure children are large, so traveling sources will affect the opening of the Eustachian tube orifice; 4.Infants and young children have teething and more saliva secretion, causing otitis media; 5.

Incorrect postural traction for breastfeeding can also lead to secretory otitis media; Raid 6Choking on water while swimming can also cause otitis media.

Take 5 silkworm cocoons and scorpions, 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, and clean the patient's external ear canal with hydrogen peroxide before changing the dressing. 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.

Red photography is good, the young lady with makeup is very gentle, the photographer is also very patient, the sister who retouches the picture is very fast, and it takes less than an hour to get the ** recommendation.

1. Respiratory tract or nasopharyngeal diseases: When children suffer from colds or rhinitis, pharyngitis, etc., it is possible to cause otitis media, because the middle ear of the human body is connected with the nose and pharyngeal tube, and when there are a large number of bacteria in the nasopharynx, these pathogens are easy to enter the ear and cause inflammation, so when the child has a cold or rhinitis and other diseases, it is necessary to pay attention to observe whether the child's ear is abnormal.

2. Swimming: If you do not do a good job of ear protection when swimming, resulting in water entering the ear from the external auditory canal, it can also cause otitis media, because there are bacteria or disinfectants in the swimming water, which can lead to inflammation.

3. Drinking milk while lying down: If it is a relatively small child, when drinking water or milk while lying down, it will cause water or milk to flow into the direction of the nasopharynx, which may lead to otitis media.

4. Other reasons: Children suffering from otitis media may also be caused by some other factors, such as excessive fatigue, which will lead to decreased immunity and susceptibility to disease. In addition, when children are exposed to cold germs or viruses in kindergartens or confined spaces, such as trains, study planes, etc., the risk of otitis media can be increased.

There are many causes of otitis media in babies, such as viral infections, bacterial infections, etc. It can also be caused by repeated colds or upper respiratory tract infections.

A large part of the cause of otitis media in children is spitting up milk, which flows down the cheeks and into the ears, resulting in ear disease, so pay more attention to your forehead when sleeping!

It may be more caused by not paying attention to the water entering the ears when bathing the baby, and it seems that there is also a slap in the face of the child, which will also cause the baby's hearing loss or middle ear problems.
