summary

I had a cold at the beginning, and then I felt pain in my ears. I thought it was common pain, but I didn't care about it. Later, it became more and more painful. I went to a big hospital for examination. It turned out that I had otitis media. After treatment, I have basically recovered. Now I would like to share with you the problems caused by otitis media.

What causes otitis media

Reason 1: after a cold, pharyngeal and nasal inflammation spread to the eustachian tube, the pharyngeal orifice and lumen mucosa of the eustachian tube appeared congestion and swelling, the cilia movement was obstructed, and the pathogenic bacteria took advantage of the deficiency to invade the middle ear, causing otitis media. The common pathogenic bacteria are mainly pneumococcus, Haemophilus influenzae and so on, so the prevention of cold can reduce the incidence of otitis media.

Reason 2: the method of blowing nose is not correct. When some people blow their nose, they often pinch both sides of the wings of the nose with two fingers and blow it out with force. This method of blowing nose not only can't blow out the nose completely, but also is very dangerous. There are a lot of viruses and bacteria in the nose. If both nostrils are pinched and forced to blow, the pressure will force the nose to squeeze out to the posterior nostril and reach the eustachian tube, causing otitis media.

Reason 3: when swimming, you should avoid swallowing the water into the mouth, so as to avoid water entering the middle ear through the nasopharynx and causing otitis media. The external auditory canal can be blocked with sterilized cotton ball to avoid infection induced otitis media.

matters needing attention

It is suggested that we should pay attention to: otitis media is caused by bacterial infection, so parents should choose sensitive antibiotics for their children under the guidance of doctors. Penicillin and penicillin family are generally used, and antibiotics should not be blindly used. The route of administration is intravenous drip, which can make the drug reach the lesion faster and play a role.
