Causes of the pain in the ear < P > Pain in the ear is a common disease. The most common disease in clinic is otitis media, which is an inflammatory lesion involving all or part of the middle ear structure, and most of them are nonspecific inflammation. Its manifestations are pain in the ear, fever, aversion to cold, bitter taste, red or yellow urine, constipation and hearing loss. If the eardrum is perforated, pus will flow out of the ear and the pain will be alleviated.

According to experts, there is pain in the ear, which may be some hidden diseases. So, what are the specific diseases? Pain in the ear is a very common symptom, which happens to almost everyone, and the most important reason is otitis media.

Otitis media is a common symptom, and its symptoms also include:

1. Hearing loss: hearing loss and self-hearing enhancement. The performance is that turning the head can sometimes improve and sometimes block. If only one ear is sick, it may not be noticed for a long time.

2. Earache: In acute otitis media, there will be persistent dull earache or occasional aching, while in chronic otitis media, the earache is not obvious. The disease may be accompanied by occlusion or bloating in the ear, and pressing the tragus can temporarily relieve it.

3. Tinnitus: mostly low-key and intermittent, such as "crackling", buzzing and running water. When the head moves, yawns or blows your nose, the sound of gas passing through your ears may appear.

In short, the causes of ear pain are very complicated, and the key to treatment lies in finding out the cause and treating the symptoms.

What should I do about earache

Most of the symptoms of earache are caused by otitis media. What should I do?

To treat otitis media, it can be cured by conservative methods and standardized treatment. You can use such treatments as hydrogen peroxide cleaning, taking amoxicillin capsules and levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets appropriately, or you can go to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. According to syndrome differentiation, you can use such pills as Niuhuang Jiedu Pill, Huanglian Shangqing Pill and Longdan Xiegan Pill, drink plenty of water, eat lightly, avoid spicy and irritating food, and pay attention to the following daily precautions.

1. Try not to pick your ears. Don't dig your ears with unclean and sharp objects to avoid infection and inflammation. The distance from the mouth of the external auditory canal to the tympanic membrane of adults is only 3.5 cm. When cleaning cerumen with a cotton swab, the part extending into the external auditory canal should be between 2.5 cm and 3 cm to avoid stabbing the tympanic membrane. In addition, if you don't go to massage shops and beauty shops to pick your ears, first, there is no guarantee for disinfection of appliances, and second, non-professionals may hurt your eardrum.

2. Prevent colds. Summer is the season of high incidence of colds, otitis is often caused by colds, and eustachian tube ventilation can cause infiltrating otitis media.

3. Try not to let water into the external auditory canal. Swimming or washing your hair and taking a bath, if water enters your ears, you should immediately wipe the water with a cotton swab to keep the external auditory canal clean and dry.

4. In addition, working, studying or playing games in the same posture for a long time is easy to press the delicate blood vessels and nerves in the ear. This is the reason why many patients have tinnitus but can't find the cause. After sitting down for more than an hour, you should exercise and relax your neck properly.

Earache after swallowing saliva

Earache usually belongs to otitis media. There are two kinds of otitis media, one is suppurative otitis media, which is mostly caused by a cold. The other is called non-suppurative otitis media, which does not have pus, but has stuffy ears, decreased hearing or tinnitus, which is caused by the pressure change in the middle ear cavity caused by inflammation of the eustachian tube. At this time, it is generally manifested that swallowing saliva will cause ear pain.

so, what should I do if I swallow saliva and my ears hurt? This situation, mostly because of bacterial infection and lead to acute otitis media. At this time, antibiotics are specific treatment, so sensitive antibiotics should be selected, and penicillin or cephalosporins are generally used. Intravenous drip is often chosen as the route of administration, which can reach the focus faster and make the drug work. In addition, phenol glycerin ear drops can be used to relieve pain before the tympanic membrane is perforated. After tympanic membrane perforation, the pus was washed with hydrogen peroxide, and then the ear drops were used to treat it. In addition, we should pay attention to oral hygiene, eat less sweet and sour food, avoid spicy and irritating food at ordinary times, and drink more water, so as to nip in the bud.

In addition, the treatment of suppurative otitis media is: conditional culture of pus, and drug sensitivity test, according to the test results, choose antibiotics, or oral or injection. Ear part: if the pus is large and thick, wash it with hydrogen peroxide, and then use sensitive antibiotic ear drops. If it is non-suppurative otitis media, it is mainly to reduce the edema of the eustachian tube, nasal drops, detumescence drugs and other applications, and appropriate use of antibiotics. What's the pain in the ear? 2

1. Auricular neuralgia < P > Because there are many nerves around the ear, there will be pain when the ear is disturbed by loud noise for too long or when it receives other unknown stimuli.

this kind of ear neuralgia can also make people particularly uncomfortable. Therefore, we should pay special attention not to be in a noisy space often, or to wear headphones to listen to music for a long time.

2, otitis externa

When the ear is uncomfortable and itchy, some people like to dig blindly in the ear with nails, hairpins, wool needles, short sticks, match sticks, etc. If you dig too hard or are hit by someone, it is easy to puncture the skin of the ear canal, causing skin infection and inflammation. This disease not only has earache, but also may be accompanied by bleeding.

3. Furuncle of the external auditory canal

Furuncle of the ear canal is easy to occur when otitis externa is not treated in time, or when the ear canal skin is old and weak, suffering from diabetes, or when the skin surface resistance is weakened after being soaked in water for a long time. Furuncle will gradually swell and fester, which will block the ear canal and cause increasing pain. After the furuncle is mature and broken or surgical incision and drainage, the earache will be obviously relieved.

4, ear canal bugs

In summer, due to the hot weather, various insects will move frequently, especially mosquitoes, moths, flies and so on. These bugs may enter the ear canal when people are asleep, and then crawl in the ear, causing pain. This kind of pain that occurs with the activity of the bug may be that the bug touches the eardrum, which is very unbearable.

5. Acute otitis media

When bacterial suppurative infection occurs in the middle ear cavity, pus increases continuously, and when it directly compresses the pain-sensitive tympanic membrane, it will cause bursts of pain in the ear, which can present pulsatile pain with the pulse beating. Otitis media and earache that occur in the middle of the night often make it difficult for people to fall asleep. When the pus in the middle ear cavity increases and the pressure increases, the pus can rupture and perforate the tympanic membrane, and the pus will flow out of the ear canal in large quantities, and the earache will be alleviated.

6, ear herpes

This is related to virus infection. It is more common on the auricle, and the earache caused by it is like acupuncture or burning, which is very uncomfortable. A few people may also have facial paralysis, hearing loss, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Ear cerumen, also known as "earwax" and "earwax", is secreted by cerumen glands under the skin of the ear canal. When cerumen is not easily discharged from the ear canal and accumulates, it can block the ear canal, and hearing will be affected to varying degrees.

7. Ear tumor

When there is a malignant tumor in the ear canal or middle ear cavity, with the development of the disease, the tumor infiltrates into the surrounding tissues, and besides bleeding in the ear canal and hearing loss, there will be earache in different degrees. Although the incidence of ear tumors is low, we should be vigilant.
