Tympanitis, or inflammation of the tympanic membrane, is a common symptom that manifests itself as severe ear pain, a feeling of tightness and swelling in the ear, and mild hearing loss. Eardrum infection is mainly caused by bacteria entering the middle ear and eardrum through the external ear canal or Eustachian tube, and is a common inflammatory reaction. Eardrum inflammation is generally categorized into acute and chronic, common acute infections include acute tympanitis, herpetic tympanitis, etc., and chronic inflammation includes chronic granulomatous tympanitis. After suffering from eardrum inflammation, the patient’s hearing will decrease, with symptoms such as ear stuffiness, tinnitus, etc. In the case of herpetic eardrum inflammation, a small amount of bloody exudate will flow out of the blood blisters, which will cause severe ear pain, and dizziness and other symptoms may also occur. It is recommended that patients seek timely medical treatment, clear diagnosis and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, follow the doctor’s instructions for medication, pay attention to always keep the environment inside the ear dry and clean, and take good protective measures to avoid causing infections.
