Inflammation of the ear, the treatment of which should be mandatory, is called otitis media in another way. It is characterized by the development of pathogenic microflora in any part of the organ. The disease is most often diagnosed in children, since their hearing aid is not yet fully developed. The cause of the appearance of the pathology can be an infection in the nose, throat or ear itself, as well as the ingress and retention of moisture in it.
Inflammation of the ear, the treatment of which is carried out under the supervision of doctors, has pronounced symptoms. The patient feels pain when chewing, redness is noted, and a boil may appear in the ear canal. A sign of the disease is also a high fever, chills, hearing impairment. If the situation worsens even more, then a shooting pain appears in the organ, and pus can stand out from the ear.
If you have ear inflammation, treatment should be started immediately. The development of the disease and its transition into a chronic form cannot be allowed. Moreover, it depends on which part of the organ is affected (external, middle or internal). If the disease is still at the initial stage and has not penetrated deeply, then physiotherapy will become an effective treatment method, that is, heating, the use of turundas soaked in alcohol (70%). In addition, the doctor can prescribe specialized drops based on sulfonamide, as well as antibiotics. Boron alcohol is an effective disinfectant .
If you have inflammation of the ear, treatment should be carried out under the supervision of a specialist (ENT). If the patient has a fever, then he is recommended to abandon active physical activity. It is better for a person to observe bed rest.
Middle ear inflammation is also treated with antibiotics and antiseptic drugs. Naturally, the cause of otitis media must also be eliminated in parallel. In order to eliminate the pain syndrome, use warmed alcohol, but you can’t bury your ear with anything if pus comes out of it.
If you have been diagnosed with
ear inflammation, the treatment also includes special procedures that help clear the eardrum of pus, increasing its outflow. Such an operation should be entrusted to the doctor. In order to
restore hearing and accelerate the healing of the affected area, you need to visit several procedures of UHF therapy and blowing.
The most difficult to treat is inflammation of the inner ear. It requires compliance with bed rest, the use of antibiotics. In complex cases, general cavity trepanation is performed. However, such an intervention is permitted only in an extreme case, when there is a risk of infection of the meninges and the occurrence of meningitis.
Since it is not easy to treat inflammation of the ear, you need to be patient and be sure to follow all the doctor's instructions. It is very important to stop the disease in time, since the complications after it can be very serious: hearing loss, complete deafness, and brain damage.
