Ear blockage means ear stuffiness and ear clogging. Diseases that produce this symptom may include cerumen embolism, cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal, secretory otitis media, etc. General treatment, medication, and surgical treatment should be taken according to the cause of the disease and the characteristics of the disease to alleviate the symptom, and the efficacy and duration of the treatment vary from person to person, and there is no direct way of quick ventilation.
1. Cerumen impaction: If the ear is blocked due to cerumen impaction, cerumen that can be moved can be removed with cerumen hooks or knee forceps. If the cerumen is hard, the cerumen can be separated from the wall of the external auditory canal with a cerumen hook, and then the cerumen can be removed with a cerumen hook. In some patients, 5% sodium bicarbonate solution can be used as prescribed by the doctor, and after the cerumen is softened, the cerumen can be rinsed out with saline.
2. Cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal: If the ear is blocked due to cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal, it can be removed with a cerumen hook if there is no infection. If the patient is infected, antibiotics such as cefixime and amoxicillin can be used as prescribed by the doctor. Some patients with extensive cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal need to take mastoidectomy, otorhinoplasty and other ways of treatment.
3. Secretory otitis media: For ear blockage caused by secretory otitis media, antibiotics such as cefixime and cefuroxime can be used under the guidance of physicians. Some patients can also take pinch nose and drum method, catheter method and other ways to blow the Eustachian tube. In addition, patients can also take tympanocentesis and fluid extraction, pharyngotracheal balloon dilatation and other ways of treatment.
It is recommended that patients with blocked ears can seek medical treatment in time, and the doctor will choose the appropriate measures to treat the problem after clarifying the cause of the disease.
