What reason can cause otitis media

summary

All kinds of ear diseases threaten hearing. Children are at high risk of otitis media because of their poor physical resistance. The most common manifestations of otitis media are stuffy feeling or blockage feeling in the ear, hearing loss and tinnitus. Often occurs after a cold, or occurs unconsciously. Children suffering from otitis media, often manifested as slow obedience or inattention, and accompanied by fever, chills, diarrhea and other symptoms. Infants often show irritability, crying, restlessness at night, shaking their heads or rubbing their ears with their hands, and refusing to eat milk. Older children may report symptoms such as earache, hearing loss, tinnitus, etc.

What reason can cause otitis media

First: the temperature difference between morning and night is big, the number of children suffering from cold is increasing, and the number of otitis media will also increase, among which infants and young children account for the majority. This is because children's eustachian tube is short and straight, and the lumen is wide. After a cold, bacterial infection is secondary. Bacteria are easy to enter the tympanic cavity through the eustachian tube (five senses are interlinked), causing inflammatory reaction. But most otitis media is caused by bad habits.

Second: when some people blow their noses, they hold both sides of their noses with two fingers and blow them out. In this way, the pressure on both sides of the nasal alar may squeeze the inflammatory nose into the sinuses and cause sinusitis, or squeeze into the lacrimal duct and cause conjunctival infection, or even squeeze into the eustachian tube and cause otitis media.

Third: the young mother in feeding the baby, let the baby lying flat sucking bottle. This may cause milk reflux into the nasopharynx, through the eustachian tube into the middle ear and cause otitis media. So when feeding the baby, we must pay attention not to be too much, too urgent, the key is to hold the baby up.

matters needing attention

Otitis media is divided into many types, the symptoms are not very consistent. Parents should pay close attention to their children's hearing reaction, and in case of suspicious symptoms, go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, we should also regulate diet and daily life, so as to avoid children's otitis media caused by parents' wrong operation.
