Symptoms of acute otitis media in children, what are the symptoms of acute otitis media in 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.

Acute otitis media in children can cause sudden high fever, ear pain, hearing loss, and tinnitus. On examination, tympanic membrane hyperemia and edema may be evident.

1.Water enters the ear from the ear canal during bathing, but it does not enter the middle ear if the eardrum does not have a hole. However, if there are many people in the public bath and the cleaning and hygiene are not done properly, the bacteria or disinfectants in the water will enter the child's body through the nose and mouth, causing a cold and then causing otitis media.

2.SmokingSomeone in the family smokes, which can easily induce otitis media. Even if you drive that smoker out on the balcony to smoke, his hair and clothes will be stained with the harmful substances of cigarettes.

When he goes to hold the baby again, these harmful substances will be adsorbed on the baby's nasopharyngeal mucosa, which is easy to cause inflammation.

3.Babies who drink milk while lying down will flow into the nasopharynx and have a risk of otitis media. Therefore, when your baby drinks milk or other beverages, raise his head a little higher and wipe off the water or milk that comes out of him at any time.

4.Living in a kindergarten in a group, the child's exposure to cold germs or viruses greatly increases, increasing the likelihood of developing otitis media.

5.Fatigue, lack of sleep, or excessive physical exertion are the main causes of weakened immunity. Having a regular lifestyle, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise are important for staying healthy. So, don't let your child get too tired from playing, and be sure to let him get plenty of rest.

6.Going out on public transportation such as closed trains or planes, or in poorly ventilated and densely populated public places, it is easy to get infected with cold viruses and make it easy for babies to suffer from otitis media. Therefore, when taking children out, avoid crowded places as much as possible.

7.**Interruption: Usually acute otitis media symptoms will be relieved or even disappear after taking medicine for a few days, at this time, don't think that the baby is well according to your own judgment and stop taking medicine**. Stopping** is one of the reasons why acute otitis media does not heal for a long time or even becomes chronic.

The ears are watery, painful, and the child scratches the ears.

Otitis media in children is divided into acute otitis media and chronic otitis media, acute otitis media has four major symptoms, ear pain, fever, ear pus, and hearing loss. Acute otitis media is a common and frequent disease in children, with an incidence of about 4% in children, and the peak of the disease is 1-2 years old, which is closely related to upper respiratory tract infection. According to statistics, the incidence of acute otitis media in children with upper respiratory tract infection is about 10%.

The symptoms of otalgia in infants and young children are characterized by irritability, crying, ear scratching, ear scratching, and even affecting sleep; Fever, early upper respiratory tract infection, may be accompanied by fever, body temperature as high as 39 or above, and even convulsions; Ear pus, the more severe pain in the ear symptoms is purulent otitis media, the pain is severe before the perforation of the eardrum in the middle ear, and the pus flows out after the perforation of the eardrum, and the pain will be relieved; Hearing loss, some children have hearing loss in the early stage, which is manifested as interrupted speech, which should not be called. In short, acute otitis media has four major symptoms: fever, earache, ear pus, and hearing loss.

Acute otitis media in children is divided into acute purulent otitis media and acute secretory otitis media, and the symptoms of the two have the same and some differences.

The symptoms of acute secretory otitis media are mainly ear pain, and the early symptoms of pain are very typical. Hearing loss, some children who are too young may not be able to describe it clearly, and some children describe it as a feeling of ear congestion and hearing sounds that are far away. The patient has tinnitus sounds.

Some patients may have a fever or other general malaise.

Most of the acute secretory otitis media in children is secondary to upper respiratory tract infection, so children have symptoms such as nasal discharge, nasal breathlessness, cough, and throat discomfort. Acute purulent otitis media is on the basis of acute secretory otitis media, the patient's earache is more obvious in the early stage, but when the tympanic membrane is perforated and the pus is discharged, the pain will be relieved, so the patient can see a large amount of yellow pus odor discharge in the ear canal, which is the manifestation of ear pus. The patient described a feeling of ear congestion, hearing loss compared with normal ears, tinnitus sound, ear congestion, such patients have general discomfort such as general fever, and also have a large amount of yellow pus nasal discharge, cough, upper and lower respiratory tract infections and other manifestations.

1.Acute non-purulent otitis media: (1) Persistent otalgia:

This is the most typical symptom of acute otitis media in children, infants and young children are prone to irritability or covering, tugging on their ears, being active, having difficulty falling asleep, or covering their ears. (2) Fever: The fever of patients with acute non-purulent otitis media is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infection, and the body temperature is slightly higher than that of normal children.

Calorific values and heat peaks are nonspecific and often overlap with simple viral upper respiratory tract infections.

2.Acute purulent otitis media: (1) Persistent otalgia: persistent otalgia is severe, infantile ear.

Acute otitis media in children refers to pathogens such as bacteria or viruses that directly enter the tympanic chamber in the ear through the eustachian tube, causing mucosal infection of the middle ear cavity. The Eustachian tube is the tube that communicates the tympanic cavity with the nasopharyngeal cavity, with one end opening in the tympanic cavity behind the eardrum and the other end opening in the nasopharynx. Usually caused by the common cold, onset within 48 hours, and no more than 1 year of illness....

For example, the sound of lute and buzzing and running water, when the head is moving, yawning, blowing the nose, the sound of air passing through the water can appear in the ears, and sometimes it will appear again after a pause.

Fourth, pus. Generally, after four to five days of illness, the child's body temperature drops, and the earache disappears and he can fall asleep. But periosteal rupture pus flows out of the ear canal, tinnitus and hearing loss persist.

The symptom of acute otitis in children is that there is a pain in the ear, and she should be taken to the otolaryngology department of the hospital in time, and the doctor will give him a good treatment soon.
