When otitis media is almost healed, the patient may feel a distinct itching sensation in the outer ear canal. This is because in patients with otitis media, there will be a large amount of pus flowing out of the external ear canal. When the inflammation is almost healed, the pus in the outer ear canal is significantly reduced and does not drain out on its own, possibly forming a large amount of crust on the wall of the outer ear canal. Sometimes patients will feel particularly itchy, but it is recommended that they do not use cotton swabs to dig their ears repeatedly on their own. It is recommended that patients can go to the hospital and rinse their ears with hydrogen peroxide or saline repeatedly to remove the crusts from the external ear canal, and the itchiness will be significantly reduced. You can also use topical drops of levofloxacin ear drops, which will also have an anti-inflammatory and anti-itching effect. During the onset of inflammation, it is important not to allow water into the external ear canal to avoid aggravation of the inflammatory infection.
