What are the symptoms of tympanic membrane perforation in otitis media?

1. After the perforation of otitis media, there will be pain in the ear, and the pain will be worse at night, and there will also be fever, bitter mouth, and hearing loss. In addition to this, the urine will turn red or yellow, and there will be symptoms of constipation. After the eardrum is perforated, pus from the ear will be found to drain from the ear, which will be bloodshot at first, and then white mucus or yellow thick pus.

Before the piercing, symptoms such as chills and fatigue may occur, and there will be a tingling sensation in the ear.

2. If it is acute otitis media, after perforation, it will cause fluid to flow out of the external auditory canal, and the fluid will be pus and blood at first, and then it will become purulent discharge. Because of the discharge of pus from the ear chamber, earache and hearing loss will be reduced, and tinnitus symptoms will be reduced. At this time, it is necessary to control the infection in time and keep the external auditory canal clean and dry.

Most perforations heal gradually after infection control.

3. After perforation of chronic otitis media, you will feel a feeling of fullness in your ears, and your hearing will decrease, and you will feel that there is a leakage sound in your ears when you pinch your nose and close your mouth. At this time, it is necessary to keep the external auditory canal clean and dry to prevent infection. For simple tympanic membrane perforation, repair surgery can be done under otoendoscopy, and the symptoms of postoperative infection and hearing loss will be controlled.

4. Acute purulent otitis media is most prone to perforation, and its main symptoms are earache, hearing loss, and tinnitus.

The most obvious symptom after a perforated eardrum is ear pain. This pain is constant and can only be relieved after **. People also have hearing loss and feel that they are very quiet.

Perforated eardrum can also cause bleeding in the external ear canal, which can gradually evolve into pus if not controlled in time. Eardrum perforation is an injury to the ear caused by an external force. This disease often occurs in teenagers, and some people who have poor lifestyle habits or often pick their ears will get a perforated eardrum.

After the tympanic membrane is perforated, it must be kept dry, the blood vessels on the inner and outer sides of the tympanic membrane are anastomosed with each other, and the repair ability is strong, and if it is not infected, it can be healed. If a small perforation caused by otitis media and trauma is complicated by a bacterial infection, the perforation will not heal easily and hearing will be reduced. After perforation, it is necessary to keep the external auditory canal clean and dry, and do not clean the eardrum and blood crust to avoid bacterial infection.

Do not use drug drops and irrigation of the ear canal, and do not blow your nose vigorously to avoid nasal discharge from entering the middle ear through the eustachian tube and causing infection.

The symptoms of otitis media are mainly tinnitus, ear tightness, etc., and the symptoms of acute otitis media are divided into local and systemic symptoms, which mainly occur in the body weakness.

Perforated tympanic membrane is a serious condition that can affect hearing and cause many other complications. So, what are the causes of tympanic membrane perforation? Next, let me take you to find out.

Causes of perforation of the tympanic membrane.

1.Direct trauma. It is more common in head trauma with temporal bone fracture and tympanic membrane injury.

In addition, picking your ears too hard or being bumped by others can also break your eardrum. Secondly, splashes of metal powder, slag, welding sparks and accidental drops of corrosives, such as strong acids and strong alkalis, will corrode the tympanic membrane and cause perforation.

2.Indirect trauma. It is common when there is a sharp change in atmospheric pressure, such as a rapid descent of an airplane, a cannonball, a shot, a loud noise, and a wave of air that breaks the eardrum.

Usually slapping can also injure the eardrum and cause perforation. The air pressure in the middle ear cavity rises sharply, and the internal and external air pressure imbalance occurs, such as blowing the nose forcefully.

3.Eustachian tube infection. Otitis media, otitis externa and other ear diseases can cause tympanic membrane perforation, and most of the tympanic membrane perforation is caused by otitis media, and otitis media mostly occurs in infancy, because the baby's eustachian tube is short and thick, the tube is also straight, nasal secretions, milk and other easy to flow into or choke into the middle ear through the eustachian tube.

4.Other factors. Bacterial infection during swimming, washing hair or picking ears in daily life spreads to the middle ear through inflammation, causing inflammation of the middle ear and easily causing perforation of the eardrum.

** method of tympanic membrane perforation.

1.Perforation of the tympanic membrane due to acute otitis media.

Adequate antibiotics should be used as soon as possible to control the infection, and penicillin, cephalosporins and other drugs can be selected. Regional**: After cleaning the external auditory canal with 3% hydrogen peroxide, antibiotics can be used to inject ear fluid, and perforations that cannot heal spontaneously after inflammation control can be considered for surgical repair.

: Chronic inflammation of the proximity to the organs.

2.Perforation of the tympanic membrane due to trauma.

Removal of foreign bodies, blood clots, etc., retained in the external auditory canal. Avoid colds and never blow your nose too hard. Irrigation and dispensing of drugs are prohibited in the external auditory canal, and surgical repair may be considered for large or non-healing perforations.

Examination items for tympanic membrane perforation.

1.Perforation of the tympanic membrane due to acute otitis media.

The tympanic membrane is diffusely congested and swollen, normal landmarks are difficult to identify, pus discharge may be seen at the perforation or fluctuating bright spot lighthouse sign, and hearing examination is mostly conductive hearing loss, and a few may show mixed and neural hearing loss.

2.Perforation of the tympanic membrane due to trauma.

The tympanic membrane is often irregularly or fissuredly perforated, with bruising, blood stains, and blood crusts, and cerebrospinal fluid otorrhea should be considered if the bleeding is heavy or accompanied by watery effusion. Hearing tests are conductive or mixed hearing loss.

Tips to protect your eardrum.

1. When encountering a loud noise, open your mouth quickly to open the eustachian tube; or shut up and plug your ears with both hands to keep the air pressure inside and outside the eardrum in balance; Or use cotton balls to protect the ears from bursting the eardrum.

2. Do not use sharp objects to pick up earwax casually, so as not to puncture the external ear canal and eardrum.
