matters needing attention

1. Repeated otitis media can make tympanic membrane perforation increase, middle ear adhesion and sclerosis, and further reduce hearing. If not properly used, it can also cause the decline of inner ear nerve function, leading to more difficult treatment. 2. Repeated inflammation of middle ear can lead to otitis media of bone abscess type or cholesteatoma type. When the bone is invaded, it may lead to facial paralysis, meningitis, brain abscess and other intracranial and extracranial complications, even life-threatening. 3. If otitis media is not treated in time and the fluid in the ear is not absorbed, it will lead to secondary diseases such as tympanosclerosis, adhesive otitis media and cholesterol granuloma, resulting in permanent hearing loss. Infant is a good time to learn language. If hearing difficulties cause language learning disabilities, it is like closing a window for children to understand and perceive the world, which seriously affects their mental development.

Some think that as long as the ears have not been exposed to dirty water, they will not get otitis media; Some think that only ear pus is secretory otitis media, thus delaying the opportunity of treatment. There are many types of otitis media, which is one of the common ear diseases in winter and spring. Parents must be aware of their children's behavior as soon as possible, and take their children to the ENT Hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
