Ear pain is mainly caused by inflammation or other lesions in the outer ear, the organs surrounding the outer ear, and the middle ear. Common diseases that can cause ear pain are as follows: 1. Trauma to the outer ear can cause ear pain.
2. Boils in the external ear canal: Frequent gouging of the ear with inappropriate sharp instruments, which can damage the skin of the external ear canal, may cause local boils or even abscesses and cause severe pain.
3. Ear pain can also be caused when unclean water enters the ear while swimming or washing hair, triggering an infection in the external ear canal and causing otitis externa.
4. Otitis media can also be triggered by respiratory diseases such as epiglottitis, bronchitis, bronchiectasis or pneumonia. In this case, the middle ear tympanic membrane is acutely congested, and even perforation of the tympanic membrane and pus may occur.
5. Herpetic tympanitis can also cause severe pain in the ear.
In children, the eustachian tube is wide, straight and short, and horizontal, so it can easily lead to otitis media in case of nasopharyngitis. The clinical manifestations are mainly fever, ear pain, and pus flow, but there can also be symptoms of systemic toxicity.
If ear pain occurs, you should go to the ENT department of a regular hospital in time to check the condition of the external ear canal and the middle ear of the tympanic membrane and treat it according to the diagnosis.
