It was another summer vacation. Every summer vacation, many parents take their children to swim or go to the sea to play. The otologist reminds you that although you are happy to play with water, you must pay attention to personal safety. At the same time, you must pay attention to avoid improper swimming methods and improper treatment methods, protect your ears, and avoid the occurrence of otitis media.

Last week, Dr. Li Songjian, the Department of ON, Nasal and Throat of Guangdong Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, accepted such a child: the symptoms of pain, blocity and hearing decreased in the ears have been one week. Dr. Li learned in detail that the children swim in the ponds in their hometown every day after the summer vacation. After the rain, the water quality of the pond is relatively turbid. There are several ears in water, and the children use cotton swabs or paper towels to absorb water. Last week began to have a sense of ear blockage. He used a paper towel into the ear canal as usual, and he jumped on his head on one foot. The symptoms not only did not relieve it, but aggravated. Two days ago, he began to have obvious ears pain, swelling and stuffy, and obvious hearing decline. Parents immediately brought Guangzhou medical treatment.

After using the electro -ear mirror to carefully check, Dr. Li found that the child's external ear canal and the tympanic membrane were significantly congested, and the drum room effusion had occurred. Through the hearing function, the child's hearing had been affected. The child was diagnosed with acute secretion of acute secretion Sexual otitis media. After anti -inflammatory treatment, the child's symptoms were cured and hearing recovery.

What is otitis media?

Otitis media is inflammation in the middle ear, and is divided into secretion of otitis media, purulent otitis media, and adhesive otitis media. The common pathogenic bacteria of otitis media are mainly pneumococcus and influenzaobacillus. The main symptoms of otitis media are: ears and bloating, pain in the ear, or pus, decreased hearing.

Why are children easy to get otitis media?

The infection of the eustachian tube pathway is the most common way to clinically leads to the most infection of the middle ear. After swimming ear water or cold, the incorrect snoting method will cause inflammation of the pharynx and nose to spread to the eustachian tube, causing otitis media to occur. Because the child's eustachian tube is still in the development stage, compared with the adult eustachian tube, which is short and straight and straight, the special additives have low resistance, and the external bacteria are more likely to invade from the pharynx, causing inflammation in children in children to inflammation in the child. High incidence.

Why is swimming easy to get otitis media?

Swimming in a non -clean waters, bacteria flow into the ear with the water, causing the drum film and the skin infection of the external ear canal, which leads to the occurrence of external ear canal or otitis media. Every summer, patients with ear diseases caused by swimming are higher than the rest of the season. The most common ear diseases are external ear canal and otitis media.

Therefore, Dr. Li Songjian suggested everyone:

First, you can wear soft earplugs while swimming, and choose a clean swimming pool to swim in dirty waters. If you are prone to otitis media, it is particularly important to keep your ears dry.

Second, when swimming, avoid the entrance of the water pharyngeal, so as to avoid water through the nasopharynx and enter the middle ear to cause otitis media. It can also be used to block the outer ear canal with disinfection cotton balls to avoid infection. Don't forget to wear earplugs or temporarily stuffed cotton balls when washing your hair or bathing.

Third, if the water in the ear is difficult to suck or jump out, you can use the infrared light to illuminate the mouth of the ear canal to keep the ear canal dry. But be sure to pay attention to how to use it to avoid burns.

Some warm reminder about summer vacation:

1. Try to choose a swimming place that meets the hygiene standards. Swimming in waters that do not meet the standards of water quality can easily lead to pollutants into the middle ear from the eustachian tube, which leads to otitis media.

2. Try not to play in the water when swimming to avoid water.

3. Do not use an unintentional appliance or nails to dig out the ears after the outer ear canal is watered.

4. After the nose is in water, or usually a cold and snot, press and hold a nostril gently, do not pinch the two nostrils at the same time to avoid druming the sewage or snot into the middle ear. The correct method of nasal nasal nose is: Press one side of the nostril with your fingers, and slightly use the nose of the opposite nostril with a little force to the other side. If the nasal cavity is not easy to get out of the nasal cavity, you can use the nasal nourishing agent to drip the nose under the guidance of the doctor, and then sting after the nasal cavity ventilation.

5. When swimming, you can choose to wear rubber earbuds to avoid the outer ear canal from entering the water.

6. Do not swim when suffering from cold and ear disease.

7. When the ears are symptoms of discomfort after swimming, especially the ear discomfort that cannot be relieved.
