    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.

    The eardrum is also what people call the eardrum, and a perforated eardrum can cause hearing dysfunction in people. Otitis media is one of many causes that can cause a perforated eardrum. Can a perforated eardrum in otitis media heal on its own is something that many people want to know, and this type of eardrum perforation is difficult to heal on its own.

    The tympanic membrane has a strong ability to regenerate, and in general, it only takes 10 to 15 days to heal after the tympanic membrane is perforated. Membrane perforation is generally directed to traumatic tympanic membrane perforation. However, if there are interfering factors such as chronic inflammation, whether the perforation can heal or not depends on the situation.

    Acute purulent otitis media after perforation of the tympanic membrane, pus in the tympanic cavity, if correct **, wash the pus with hydrogen peroxide, instilled antibiotics in the ear, systemic antibiotics, generally heal after 10 to 15 days of perforation. Chronic purulent otitis media has a small perforation, intermittent pus, and the eardrum heals on its own if the ear is dry for a long time. If the tympanic membrane perforation in chronic otitis media is large and there is empery in the middle ear cavity, the tympanic membrane perforation will generally not heal, and some patients even perennial tympanic membrane perforation, perennial ear discharge in the ear.

    Blind bias will heal itself, leading to hearing loss, increased perforations, and even conductive deafness! Recurrent otitis media can enlarge the perforation of the eardrum and harden the adhesions in the middle ear, further reducing hearing. The drug** can only be used for antibacterial, pus drainage, and swelling**, and can only relieve the pain caused by the perforation of the eardrum.

    On the contrary, it will increase the cost of missing the best time and aggravating the disease.

    Perforation of the eardrum in chronic otitis media is necessary to repair the eardrum in addition to otorrhea and hearing impairment, as well as the risk of cholesteatoma. The broken eardrum can be repaired with the fascia of the temporal muscle next to the ear, with a success rate of more than 90%, and this type of myringoplasty or tympanoplasty can eliminate otorrhea and improve hearing. Acute otitis media may not necessarily cause perforation, but if it is not found in time or completely, the condition will be delayed, and it will be easy to induce problems such as eardrum perforation and middle ear mastoiditis, and it will be troublesome at that time.

    Therefore, it is very likely that you can get otitis media medicine in time**.

    Patients with otitis media have eardrum perforation, if they actively cooperate with the doctor to fight infection**, the ear inflammation will gradually relieve, no longer discharge pus, and the symptoms of eardrum perforation may gradually heal in 3-6 months.

Patients may experience sudden earache and hearing loss, accompanied by tinnitus.

    Some patients may also have a small amount of bleeding and a feeling of fullness in the ear canal.

    Whether an eardrum perforation heals on its own depends on the cause of the disease and the size of the perforation.

    There is a minor trauma, such as due to a violent air pressure difference in an external force or a firecracker, and a relatively small hole appears that may heal on its own.

    However, if there is a more serious injury, such as otitis media or infection, it is generally unlikely to heal on its own.

    Perforated eardrum will generally cause normal hearing function to be affected, and it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to diagnose the severity of the perforation, and cooperate with the doctor to perform otolascopy to observe the damage to the eardrum.

    In more severe cases, it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor to repair it through surgery**.

    Otitis media with perforated eardrum can generally be done**. The eardrum, medically known as the eardrum, is an oval-shaped structure that separates the outer ear canal from the middle ear.

    Acute purulent otitis media causes perforation of the eardrum. If the perforation is small, such as the size of a pinpoint or a soybean grain, oral antibiotics can be used, as well as topical antibiotic ear drops and topical nasal sprays**.
