Itchy ears and water may be caused by external ear eczema, otitis externa, fungal infection of the external ear canal, etc. It can be treated by applying glucocorticosteroid drugs, rinsing the external ear canal with saline, and applying antifungal drugs.
1. Eczema of the outer ear: it is a perverted inflammatory lesion of the outer ear canal, which is caused by repeated ear pulling and digging, etc. It can be manifested as itching, burning, and mucous secretion in the outer ear canal. It can be relieved by cleaning the ear canal secretions and applying glucocorticoid drugs such as mometasone furoate cream or hydrocortisone ointment locally.
2. Otitis externa: As the skin of the external auditory canal is attacked by bacteria, an inflammatory reaction occurs, and secretions flow out, stimulating the wall of the external auditory canal, which can cause itching of the external auditory canal. The infection can be controlled by rinsing the external auditory canal with saline and applying drugs such as ofloxacin ear drops and ciprofloxacin ear drops externally.
3. Fungal infection of the external auditory canal: Fungal otitis externa, due to the humid environment, resulting in the growth and reproduction of fungi, manifested as itchy, also accompanied by symptoms of running water, can be relieved by topical application of antifungal drugs such as trimethoprim and econazole cream.
If there is itching and water in the ear, you should seek medical attention in time, and after the doctor has made a clear diagnosis, take the appropriate treatment plan, and do not use medication privately.
