The blocked ear is considered to be related to cerumen embolism, temporary blockage of Eustachian tube, sudden deafness, etc. Generally, softening and removal of cerumen, pinching the nose and drumming the air, nutritive nerves and medicines to improve microcirculation should be taken according to the cause of the disease for treatment.
1. Cerumen embolism: that is, we say too much earwax blocks the ear. If the cerumen is soft, the doctor can remove it with tweezers. If the cerumen is hard and movable, the doctor can use a cerumen hook to remove the cerumen. If the cerumen is hard and less movable, the doctor will usually use sodium bicarbonate solution or hydrogen peroxide solution to soften the cerumen before rinsing the cerumen.
2. Temporary blockage of the Eustachian tube: When there is an imbalance of air pressure inside and outside the ear, such as when an airplane takes off or lands, it can cause the Eustachian tube to become occluded and the eye of the ear to become temporarily blocked. This situation can be unblocked by pinching the nose and drumming, yawning, opening the mouth and other actions.
3. Sudden deafness: there can be hearing loss, tinnitus, ear stuffiness and other uncomfortable symptoms. This condition requires prompt medical attention and is usually treated with medications such as glucocorticoids, ginkgo biloba extract, bacitracin, and methylcobalamin to improve symptoms.
There may also be other reasons for blocked ears and eyes, such as colds and rhinitis. It is recommended to consult a doctor to clarify the cause of the disease and then targeted treatment. The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.
