Interesting talk about chronic suppurative otitis media

As the saying goes: the eyes see six ways, the ears hear eight directions. Most of the information that human beings obtain from the outside world comes from the visual and auditory senses. The eyes and ears are the most important windows for the human body to keep in touch with the outside world, and 70% of the information comes from the ears. In addition to this, the ears also have the function of keeping the body in balance. Therefore, the ear is an important and indispensable part of the human body. The ear has a special structure in the human body and can give a friendly reminder of the body’s health. Kindergarten children all know: 3 like ears, listen to the sound. The normal human ear has a full, red and elastic appearance. Some experts have studied that because the earlobe is very sensitive to ischemia, when atherosclerosis affects the blood supply to the earlobe, the earlobe is more prone to contraction than other parts of the body and ear folds appear. If people have these ear folds, they have greater diagnostic value for hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease in clinical practice. If the patient’s ears are dry and black, and the pus does not heal easily, it means that the condition is aggravated and shock is likely to occur. This shows how important the ear is to us, and we must take care of it, and when it fails, we must do our best to rescue it. Chronic otitis media is a chronic purulent inflammation of the middle ear mucosa, periosteum or deep bone, often in combination with chronic mastoiditis. This disease is extremely common. Let’s note that this is a purulent inflammatory disease. Clinically, it is characterized by recurrent pus flow in the ear, tympanic membrane perforation and hearing loss. In severe cases, it can cause life-threatening intracranial and extracranial complications. For chronic suppurative otitis media, it has 3 major characteristics: 1. It is highly sociable. From children to middle-aged and elderly people, regardless of age, it can interact with them, and once the communication is successful, it will be inseparable from people, and even if people find it tiresome, they cannot get rid of co-existing with it. 2, it is like a highly intelligent criminals, with strong insight and action. Once it has a close contact with people, it is always watching, hovering, when people are more tired in life, or cold, resistance is poor, it will wait for the opportunity to move, play their own action, the first time to people’s invasion. 3, it also has a nemesis, that is, the hospital’s ear, nose and throat doctor. As long as the otolaryngologist reviews the case and gives medication or surgery, 99% of otitis media collapse completely. Given the above characteristics of chronic otitis media, we should try to avoid close contact with it from an early age. Some infants less than a week old sometimes have pus flowing in their ears, which is a precursor of chronic otitis media, and the first treatment should be thorough to eliminate the phenomenon if it is not; then it is a good idea to do a little science education, especially for young couples, and pay attention to the feeding habits of infants and children; let the infants and children keep their bodies in an upright position when they are breastfeeding or eating universal food, and when feeding is over, do not rush to put the child flat on The main thing is to prevent the diet from flowing backwards or being stored in the nasopharynx, causing inflammation and then leading to otitis media. Another point that young couples should learn to observe is that ear pain is the main symptom of otitis media. However, small infants often cannot complain about the painful area, so the initial symptoms are fever and vomiting or the child waking up at night with cries due to pain, pulling or rubbing one side of the ear, partial hearing loss, and discharge from the ear. If these symptoms occur, parents should take their child to the hospital, where the doctor will use an otoscope to examine the affected child’s ear. After the diagnosis is confirmed, prompt treatment is given. The main reason why teenagers and children are prone to this disease is that they get sewage in their outer ear canal during summer swimming and cannot clean it out in time, resulting in otitis media. The ears are connected to the nasopharynx through the eustachian tube, so when children catch a cold, incorrect nose blowing can bring secretions with germs from the nasopharynx into the middle ear, which can also cause otitis media. If acute otitis media is not treated thoroughly, it may turn into chronic otitis media after a long period of time. In this regard, we can target to avoid it, so that we can keep otitis media out of the door. For example, if water often enters the outer ear canal when bathing or swimming, you should remove the stagnant water in time to keep the outer ear canal clean and dry. This can be done by hopping on one foot in the side ear so that the water flows out automatically, and then just wipe it clean with a sterile cotton swab. Those who suffer from otitis media and tympanic membrane perforation should be prohibited from swimming or diving to avoid getting water in the ear. If water is inadvertently introduced, antibiotic drops should be applied promptly to prevent infection. In a sense, chronic suppurative otitis media is a relatively persistent disease, and once people get it, they may suffer from it for years. When people have otitis media, they should go to a professional otolaryngologist and let the otolaryngologist solve the problem. Under the guidance of the otolaryngologist, they should actively apply medication. With the improvement of people’s living standard, people’s health awareness is also getting stronger. Once you have otitis media, many people know to go to the regular ear, nose and throat hospital for examination and treatment as early as possible, and treatment of otitis media, in addition to choosing a scientific and effective treatment method, a reasonable diet will also promote the recovery of the disease. The actual otitis media diet considerations 1, suffering from otitis media usually cannot eat spicy and stimulating food. 2, suffer from otitis media usually should often eat more fresh vegetables with anti-inflammatory effect, such as eggplant, cucumber, capers, celery, bitter gourd tarragon, loofah, etc. 3, suffer from otitis media usually do not take hot tonic, such as bullwhip, ginseng, sago, deer antler, cinnamon, tonic cream and other tonic products. 4. Avoid seafood and other fishy foods. 5, abstain from smoking and alcohol. Prevention is better than cure. As long as we raise our alertness to chronic otitis media and prevent the problem before it happens, then our quality of life will not be reduced because of ear problems. Finally, I wish everyone to always have a pair of good ears with unhindered communication.
