Auricular chondritis is very painful, mostly refers to the pain caused by auricular suppurative chondritis, when the abscess has not yet formed can be relieved by conservative treatment, after the formation of abscess, should be immediately under general anesthesia or local anesthesia for surgical treatment.
1. When the abscess has not yet formed in the early stage, the systemic application of large doses of sensitive antibiotics to control the infection, local ichthyolite ointment can be used as a topical application or bleaching powder boric acid solution, to promote the local inflammation subsides.
2. If the abscess has been formed, make a curved incision along the navicular fossa, fully expose the pus cavity, remove the pus, make bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test, scrape off the granulation tissue, and excise the necrotic cartilage. During the operation, the cavity was flushed with antibiotic solution, and a small tube with several fine holes was placed in the cavity, the skin was attached back to the trauma and sutured in place, and the tube was extended from the uppermost and lowermost ends of the incision, with appropriate pressure bandage.
On the second postoperative day, the upper end of the tube is flushed with antibiotic solution two to three times a day, and after the local and systemic symptoms subside, the tube can be removed, and the pressure bandage can be applied, and the wound can be healed at this time. If there is still local redness and swelling, and the pain is more intense, it is mostly due to the insufficient removal of lesions during the operation, and another operation is needed. According to the results of drug sensitivity culture, adjust the type of sensitive antibiotics, targeted anti-infection treatment.
When pain is caused by auricular purulent perichondritis, it is necessary to actively consult a doctor for a systematic examination, and after a clear diagnosis, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment and systematic use of medication.
