Colds can cause ear and eye pain, which may be caused by acute secretory otitis media, herpetic tympanitis, acute suppurative otitis media and other reasons.
1. Acute secretory otitis media: After a cold, pathogenic microorganisms enter the middle ear cavity through the Eustachian tube and cause dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, resulting in middle ear infection. It is mainly characterized by hearing loss, middle ear effusion, tinnitus, etc. Some patients may also show symptoms of earache.
2. Herpetic tympanitis: If the cold is caused by viral infection, then the viral infection may also lead to herpetic tympanitis, which is mainly characterized by earache, hearing loss, fever, etc., and the patients usually have more serious earache.
3. Acute suppurative otitis media: after a cold, secondary bacterial infection spreads to the middle ear, suppurative inflammation occurs, pus accumulates in the middle ear, inflammatory secretions and inflammatory factors stimulate the nerves in the tympanic cavity.
This symptom may also be caused by other reasons, it is recommended that the patient consult a doctor for examination in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, and actively cooperate with the treatment, to avoid delays in the condition, resulting in more serious consequences.
