Are intra-auricular injections painful?

Intra-auricular injections, also known as tympanic cavity injections, can cause pain during the treatment process, and each person has a different tolerance for pain, resulting in different sensations of pain that cannot be generalized. Intra-auricular injection is a fine needle that passes through the tympanic membrane and injects medication (e.g., glucocorticoids, etc.) into the middle ear cavity to provide a therapeutic effect, which can cause varying degrees of discomfort and pain during the process of penetration. If the pain is significant, anesthesia can be used to reduce the pain. This treatment is often used in the treatment of secretory otitis media and sudden deafness, and generally has mild side effects. The patient’s pain and discomfort mostly disappears immediately after the operation, and the punctured eardrum will heal within a few days. After the treatment, you should take good care of your ears, avoid water in the ears, and go to the hospital regularly for rechecks. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment.
