Baby usually likes to scratch his ears. How to judge whether he has otitis media?
Otitis media mainly has the following symptoms:① Systemic symptoms vary in severity. There may be sensitivity to cold, fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite. Children have severe systemic symptoms, often accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Once the tympanic membrane is perforated, the body temperature gradually drops and systemic symptoms are significantly relieved.
② Earache Pain deep in the ear that gradually worsens. Such as pulsating throbbing or stabbing pain, which may radiate to the ipsilateral head or teeth. Earache worsens when swallowing and coughing. People with severe earache can't sleep at night and are restless. After the tympanic membrane was perforated and pus discharged, the earache suddenly subsided.
③ Ear discharge is the main symptom of this disease, which can be mucus, mucopus or pure purulence. Non-dangerous pus is thin and odorless. Although the dangerous type of pus is not abundant, it is thicker, mostly pure purulent, and accompanied by a foul odor.
④ Hearing loss and tinnitus: Ears may start to feel full, followed by hearing loss and tinnitus. Some patients may suffer from vertigo, and their deafness will be relieved after the perforation.
⑤ Deafness varies in severity. Because it mostly affects one ear, it is easily ignored.
Through the above introduction, I believe everyone now has a deep understanding of how to determine whether you have otitis media. When you feel symptoms such as hearing loss, earache, tinnitus, etc., you must be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying the condition.
Comments and suggestions: Be careful not to let water get into your ears when bathing or swimming. Do not pick your ears with sharp objects, such as keys, nails, etc. These sharp objects can easily scratch the skin inside the ears and eyes, causing infection and inflammation. Noise can easily injure the ears. After the eardrum is injured, if you pick your ears again without paying attention, you will be prone to infection. Things to note when listening to music with headphones: Be careful not to play the sound too loud with headphones.
