If you want to confirm whether you have worms in your ears, you can rely on medical history, clinical symptoms, and otoscopic examination.
1. Past medical history: A high number of bugs in the living or working environment will increase the chance of bugs entering the ear.
2. Clinical symptoms: When a bug enters the ear, the crawling process of the bug can trigger an obvious ants sensation. Tinnitus can be triggered when the bugs come into contact with the eardrum. In addition, the crawling or biting of the bugs can cause some damage to the mucous membrane of the ear canal, which will lead to congestion and swelling of the mucous membrane of the ear canal and cause ear pain, ear stuffiness and other clinical manifestations.
3. Otoscopy: Otoscopy can be used as a diagnostic basis for diagnosing worms in the ear. In the process of otoscopy, the doctor can directly observe whether there are worms entering into the ear through the naked eye, and can determine the specific location of the worms. In addition, the bugs can be removed from the body through endoscopic clamping.
If you have worms in your ears, you should consult an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) doctor to determine the cause of the problem and follow the doctor’s instructions.
