Closed ears mainly refers to the feeling of ear stuffiness and distension, which may be related to diseases such as transient dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, cerumen embolism, secretory otitis media, and so on. Depending on the cause of the disease and the characteristics of the disease, general treatment, medication and surgery should be chosen to relieve the symptoms quickly.
1. Transient dysfunction of the Eustachian tube: due to diving, flying and other reasons, we can try to do swallowing, opening the mouth, puffing and other actions to open the Eustachian tube and release the ear closure, and those who do not get good results can use eucalyptus-pinene enteric capsule and ephedrine nasal drops as prescribed by the doctor.
2. Cerumen embolism: excessive secretion of cerumen from the external auditory canal and poor discharge of cerumen can lead to cerumen blockage of the external auditory canal, resulting in the formation of embolism. It often causes stuffy ears, tinnitus, earache and dizziness. After removing the cerumen embolism, the symptoms of ear blockage often disappear.
3. Secretory otitis media: short-term oral glucocorticoids such as prednisone and nasal decongestants such as nasal spray hydroxymetazoline can be used. If the effect of conservative treatment is not good, tympanic membrane puncture, tympanotomy, tympanic membrane tube and eustachian tube balloon dilatation can be chosen to eliminate the symptoms of ear stuffiness.
When the ear closure occurs, you can actively seek medical systematic examination, clear diagnosis and etiology, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
