What causes otitis media? What are the dangers of otitis media?

There are many causes of otitis media. The more common causes are colds and ear trauma. It can also be caused by acute rhinitis, acute sinusitis, and nasopharyngitis.

Some patients are also affected by nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Here's why: Individual differences.

The main danger of otitis media is that it is easy to cause related symptoms. The more common symptoms are tinnitus, hearing loss, earache, and ear tightness. A small number of patients have severe middle ear inflammation that can also cause both intracranial and extracranial complications.

After the onset of the disease, it is recommended to go to the otolaryngology department as soon as possible.

I was infected by bacteria, often ate heavy food, often did not drink water, was very stressed, and often stayed up late. This disease is very serious, sometimes it can cause a perforated eardrum that can cause severe hearing damage, it may cause facial paralysis through extraoral exercises, and abscess may appear.

I often eat chili peppers, smoke and drink a lot, often stay up late, have a lot of mental pressure, and don't pay attention to personal hygiene. It can cause severe pain that can affect the eardrum, damage your hearing, and eventually cause damage to your nerves.

1. Patients with chronic purulent otitis media will have intermittent or repeated ear pus, which brings confusion to the patient's life; 2. Otitis media will damage the ossicles or periosteum, causing varying degrees of tinnitus or hearing loss; 3. When chronic purulent otitis media is severe, it will cause bone destruction, especially when accompanied by cholesteatoma, bone destruction is more obvious, which will cause changes in the adjacent trachea, such as vertigo, facial paralysis, meningitis, brain abscess and phlebitis; 4. When the trigeminal nerve and abducens nerve are affected, there will be stubborn headache or eye movement disorder; 5. When intracranial compression occurs, cerebral edema and brain herniation can also occur and be life-threatening.

1. Affect the conduction and amplification of sound in the middle ear, resulting in conductive deafness. For example, secretory otitis media affects children's hearing and causes learning disabilities, which often cannot attract the attention of parents.

2. Long-term chronic inflammation of purulent otitis media will damage the inner ear, resulting in mixed deafness, hearing loss is mild in the early morning, aggravated in the later stage, and the older the age, the more obvious.

3. Acute purulent otitis media is not timely, which will lead to various complications: including intracranial complications and extracranial complications; Such as brain abscess, meningitis, sigmoid sinus thrombophlebitis.

4. Facial paralysis, the facial nerve innervates facial movement through the middle ear, and otitis media has the risk of causing facial paralysis, which is manifested as the inability to close the eyes, the corners of the mouth are crooked, and the taste of the tongue is weakened.

5. Cause perforation of the tympanic membrane and long-term pus.

6. Long-term otitis media with blood capillaries should be alert to the possibility of middle ear cancer, especially if it is found that the pus is bloody fluid or accompanied by long-lasting pain that cannot be relieved!

1. Acute purulent otitis media**If not timely and thorough, most of them may turn into chronic 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 latent to lead to chronic otitis media.

2. Chronic otitis media can be divided into three types according to the time of illness and the severity of the disease: simple, abscess 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.

3. Ear pus and hearing loss, although it is very annoying, but for patients with chronic otitis media, these are not the most important, the most worrying thing is the complications, before the complications, the patient often has no feeling, but if it appears, then the condition is often serious, and some are even life-threatening, therefore, it is necessary to be hospitalized immediately**.

1. For example, in the case of nasopharyngeal diseases caused by upper respiratory tract infections, the bacteria enter the eustachian tube and cause inflammation of the middle ear.

2. Delay in diagnosis and treatment: delay** in the acute phase and improper medication, most of them turn into chronic otitis media, which is difficult to heal repeatedly.

3. Secondary infection: some can be secondary to acute infectious diseases such as scarlet fever, pneumonia, etc., causing systemic stress reactions, diseases and middle ear, causing inflammation.

4. Dysplasia: Some patients have poor mammary germania, long-term blockage of the eustachian tube, poor drainage and induce infection.

5. Tympanic destruction: cholesteatoma, ossicular osteonecrosis or damage to the outer lateral wall of the tympanic cavity occur in the tympanic cavity, and germs enter from there.

6. Chronic systemic diseases: chronic systemic diseases such as anemia, diabetes and nephritis, etc., weaken the body's immunity, and are also very easy to cause otitis media.

7. Wrong method of blowing nose: The method of blowing nose is incorrect, and bacteria enter the middle ear through the nasopharyngeal channel, inducing inflammation.

8. Infection while swimming: If water is swallowed into the mouth during swimming, the water enters the middle ear through the nasopharynx, which may also cause otitis media.

1. After a cold, the inflammation of the pharynx and nose spreads to the eustachian tube, and the mucosa of the pharyngeal mouth and lumen of the eustachian tube is congested and swollen, and the ciliary movement is impaired, causing otitis media. 2. When swimming, avoid swallowing water into your mouth, so as to avoid water entering the middle ear through the nasopharynx and causing otitis media. 3. Long-term exposure to noise can also lead to the occurrence of otitis media.

4. Frequent ear picking that causes damage to the eardrum will also cause otitis media.

Prolonged exposure to noise can also lead to the development of otitis media. 4. Frequent ear picking that causes damage to the eardrum will also cause otitis media.

Suggestion: Harm of otitis media: 1. Repeated otitis media will increase the perforation of the eardrum, harden the adhesions of the middle ear, and further reduce hearing.

If not properly used, it can also cause a decline in the function of the inner ear nerve, making it more difficult to treat. 2. Middle ear anti-** inflammation can lead to bone ulcer or cholesteatoma otitis media, and bone erosion may lead to facial nerve palsy, meningitis, brain abscess and other intracranial and extracranial complications, and even life-threatening. It is recommended to ** as soon as possible, if you don't understand anything, you can always consult me.

Otitis media is by no means a minor illness and should be taken seriously by patients. If left untimely**, otitis media is likely to endanger the brain and bring serious harm to the patient's physical and mental health. Early otitis media symptoms, such as tinnitus, mild earache, ear tightness and congestion, are often overlooked by patients and lose the best time.

Therefore, you should pay attention to your hearing after a cold, so that you can detect it early and in time**. Once it becomes chronic otitis media, it will add a lot of trouble in daily life. When washing your hair or bathing, if you accidentally get water into your ears, there will be pus, and even a foul smell that makes people unable to get close, and over time your hearing will continue to be lost until you lose your hearing.

At present, the most effective ** is the Chinese medicine powder**, the effect of the opening of the female department of Zhulin Temple is good, through the method of ear blowing, directly acting on the patient, convenient, fast and non-toxic, can easily** otitis media! Chengdu Xinhua.

In addition to otitis media, once the middle ear becomes inflamed, external bacteria invade and infect nearby organs and tissues, causing ear diseases such as perforation of the eardrum. Patients with otitis media often experience ear discomfort, which can cause ear pain, fever, pus, hearing loss, and tinnitus in more severe cases, which makes patients very painful. If it is not effectively controlled, it will lead to increased membrane perforation, otitis media adhesion hardening, further hearing loss, and severe hearing loss.

1.Purulent otitis media: In addition to the earache and hearing loss caused by purulent otitis media itself, purulent otitis media can spread to the surrounding area and cause complications, which can be divided into extracranial complications and intracranial complications.

Inflammation spreads through the skull to the skull causing meningitis, intracranial abscess, thrombophlebitis, intracranial complications are the most serious complications of purulent otitis media, because people's health awareness is improving, and problems can be active early**, so these intracranial complications of otitis media are now rare. If the inflammation spreads backwards, the facial nerve passes through this location, which can cause facial paralysis, manifesting as crooked corners of the mouth and unilateral inability to close the eyes. If the inflammation spreads downward, an abscess in the neck can form.

If the inflammation spreads to the inner ear, it can cause labyrinthitis that manifests as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. In the case of chronic otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation can also be complicated by middle ear cholesteatoma, which requires surgery**.

2.Secretory otitis media: Because it is a non-purulent inflammation, there are no serious complications like purulent otitis media.

If secretory otitis media is not timely**, the effusion becomes viscous and hardened, which will further limit the activity of the eardrum and ossicles, resulting in adhesive otitis media, which can cause significant hearing loss, ear tightness, and the effect of drugs is very poor, requiring surgery**.

Therefore, once there is otitis media, especially acute otitis media, it must be positive, and most of the patients with acute otitis media can be positive.
