When the Eustachian tube is dysfunctional, outside air cannot enter the middle ear, and the original gas in the middle ear cavity is gradually absorbed, forming a relative negative pressure in the cavity, causing the eardrum to collapse into the middle ear cavity, i.e., tympanic membrane entrapment. The treatment of tympanic membrane invagination includes medication, auxiliary and surgical treatment, and treatment of primary diseases.
1. Pharmacological treatment: antibiotics can be used for acute infection, such as amoxicillin clavulanic acid potassium, roxithromycin, etc. At the same time, drugs promoting cilia movement and excretory function, such as eucalyptus-pin enteric soft capsule, oral prednisone or methylprednisolone, etc., should be used.
2. Auxiliary and surgical treatments: positive and negative tympanic pressure treatments such as tympanic membrane massage and nasal pinch and puff method. If there is fluid in the tympanic chamber, tympanocentesis or tympanotomy and tube placement should be performed if necessary.
3. Treatment of primary disease: if adenoid hypertrophy, nasopharyngeal cancer, lymphoma and other diseases, local swelling tissue compression of the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube, recurrent tympanic membrane invagination, can improve the relevant examination, if necessary, surgical resection of adenoids, nasopharyngeal cancer radiotherapy, chemotherapy for lymphoma to improve the pharyngeal opening of the Eustachian tube compressed situation.
To sum up, it is recommended to consult regular hospitals in time and standardize diagnosis and treatment after relevant examination, and not to treat blindly on one’s own.
