The ear is like a sonar receiver that allows us to hear different sounds from all directions. To have good hearing, after swimming or washing your hair, keep your ears dry in the right way, and never dig with your fingers or foreign objects to avoid inflammation.
1. Don’t get water in your ears.
It’s a good time to swim and play in the water on a hot summer day, but if your ears are accidentally submerged in water or a foreign object enters, it can easily cause otitis externa if you don’t handle it quickly.
The external ear canal of adults is about four centimeters long and curved, so if water accidentally gets in, you should immediately jump on one foot and turn your head sideways to let the water flow out, and if you still feel water inside, you should not dig with your hands or other things. Normally, if there is not much water, the water can evaporate on its own through normal body temperature, because the temperature of the ear canal is between thirty-seven and thirty-eight degrees.
2. Don’t pull out your ears too often.
In addition, some people will use ear plugs when playing with water. I suggest that silicone material can be used, which will not cause allergies. However, if you have oily ears, it is best not to use earplugs because the earwax will be softened by water and pushed further back by the earplugs, causing earwax embolism and inflammation. Therefore, people who belong to oily ears, it is best to ask an ear, nose and throat doctor to see them first and do some cleaning actions beforehand, so that they will not be happy after going into the water.
There is another condition is that there is a foreign body into the ear, in addition to the uncomfortable feeling, sometimes even affect the hearing, the doctor reminded people, after eating, hands are still covered with food crumbs or sugar crumbs, do not touch the ear with your hands, because in the middle of the night, small bugs and flies will easily be attracted by the smell, extending the ear shell crawl into the ear canal. Parents should not be alarmed if they find that their children are scratching their ears, have secretions, or have small bugs running into their ears.
In addition to the well-known light, you can also use olive oil, salad oil or eye drops, two to three drops to soak the outer ear canal, and then side to side to make it flow out. However, special attention should be paid to the oil or medicine used, which must be room temperature. Too cold or too hot can affect the sensitive ear and cause dizziness. If you are still unable to draw out the foreign body, you should seek the assistance of a specialist as soon as possible.
Special attention.
As we enter summer, more patients with itchy ears begin to suffer. In summer, this condition is known as mycotic otitis externa. Mycosis fungoides, also known as external otitis fungalis, is a fungal infection of the external ear canal. Every year in summer, the number of patients with mycosis fungoides increases significantly, because fungi tend to grow and multiply in a warm and humid environment, sweat a lot in summer, and there are many swimmers, so the external ear canal is prone to water or accumulation of secretions; in summer, there is a high incidence of foot fungus patients, who often dig their ears without washing their hands after rubbing their feet, or use unclean utensils to pull out their ears, which can cause fungal infections. In addition, low body resistance and abuse of antibiotics is also one of the factors leading to mycotic otitis externa.
3. Maintenance of ears.
In terms of ear care, usually try to keep your ears dry, especially in the sweltering summer. Once you find that your ears are abnormally red, swollen and flaky, don’t pick and scratch them, otherwise they will turn into eczema, and it’s best to ask your physician to prescribe an anti-mycotic ointment. The physician also mentioned that the best way to take care of your ears is to “not move them” and not even to use an ear pick, because the ear shell is cartilage, which is easily injured and deformed, and once there is a wound, it is more difficult to heal because of the lack of blood supply. If your ears are itchy, lightly pull on them, or wrap an ice cube in a cloth and apply ice for a few seconds, or lightly press the ear screen to effectively stop the itch.
Don’t pull out your ears too often in the summer.
What to do if you have a nosebleed.
