What symptom picture is otitis media?

Otodynia: acute can have dull otodynia, often the first symptom of patients, can be persistent, can also be pain. Chronic ear pain is not obvious. This disease is often accompanied by ear occlusion or stuffy feeling, which can be relieved temporarily after pressing the tragus. When one ear is sick, the other ear has normal hearing, which can not be detected for a long time, but can only be found during physical examination.

Hearing loss: hearing loss, self enhancement. When the head is tilted forward or deviated to the contralateral side, the hearing can be temporarily improved (displacement hearing improvement) because the fluid left the cochlea. When the fluid is thick, the hearing will not change with the change of head position. Children are often unresponsive to sound, inattentive, and their academic performance drops, so their parents come to see a doctor.

Tinnitus: mostly low-key intermittent, such as "crackle" sound, buzz and running water sound. When the head movement or yawn, blowing the nose, the ear can appear over water sound, sometimes intermittent once again. The skin around the patient has a sense of "wood" and psychological distress.
