Can slapping cause a ruptured eardrum?

Slapping can lead to rupture of the eardrum, clinically known as traumatic eardrum perforation. Slapping is a rupture of the eardrum due to pressure and air pressure, which can lead to hearing loss, ear stuffiness, and tinnitus. On examination, the tympanic membrane is usually seen as a lacunar perforation, and fresh blood may be attached to the surface. The main treatment is that no medication can be dripped in the ear, including anti-inflammatory drugs, and antibiotics and other treatments, such as cefprozil, can be given. If accompanied by tinnitus, etc., can be given nutritional nerve drugs such as methylcobalamin. The course of treatment is generally two weeks, most traumatic tympanic membrane perforation, after treatment will heal, if not, then consider the tympanic membrane repair surgery.
