Boils in the ear, i.e. boils on the external auditory canal, can be eliminated by local or systemic treatment. The treatment of the disease requires a healing process and should not blindly pursue the “fastest”.
1. Local treatment: External auditory canal boils may appear when suppurative inflammation occurs in the skin of the external auditory canal, and local treatment is very important at this time. For immature boils, a fine tampon stained with ichthammol glycerin can be placed on the boils to promote the absorption of the inflammation, and local hot compresses can be used as well.
For mature and unruptured boils, incision can be made to drain the pus, and rubber strips can be placed to drain the boils; for boils that burst on their own, the pus can be swabbed out, and antibiotic tampons can be placed on the surrounding skin after cleaning with alcohol.
2. Systemic treatment: boils on the external auditory canal can cause severe earache, at this time, analgesics such as ibuprofen can also be given to relieve pain, and oral antibiotics such as penicillin can be taken for more serious symptoms.
When boils occur in the external auditory canal, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment and relieve the discomfort in a timely manner.
