Acute otitis media caused by swimming

summary

My son went to school to take part in the swimming competition last month. During the competition, he accidentally put some water in his ears. After he came back, he had a high fever. The doctor said that it was because of the water in his ears that caused acute otitis media. After seeing the doctor, the situation seemed to be better. Do you know about the acute otitis media caused by swimming? Let's talk about acute otitis media caused by swimming.

Acute otitis media caused by swimming

Harm one: cause facial paralysis, mouth and eyes askew. The human body's ears, nose, mouth, brain, face and other five senses are connected, so when the inflammation of otitis media enters into the brain, it will cause meningitis, extrameningeal abscess, brain abscess and other health problems, and damage the brain, the human body's "headquarters". The harm to the human body is fatal, such as paralysis and complete blindness, which are possible. Invasion of the face will cause facial paralysis, mouth and eyes askew.

Harm two: cause labyrinthitis. Some patients with otitis media sometimes have fever, fear of cold, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea and other systemic toxic reactions. In fact, this is labyrinthitis caused by inflammation seeping into the inner ear, which will damage the body's internal organs.

Harm three: induce tympanic membrane perforation, lead to hearing loss. After the middle ear inflammation, it will cause the imbalance of internal and external pressure in the patient's ear cavity, long-term development will also lead to tympanic membrane perforation, ossicular chain damage, sound can not be transmitted to the brain center, so that the patient's hearing loss; when the inflammation develops to the brain, it will damage the hearing nerve center, so that complete hearing loss, resulting in deafness.

matters needing attention

On this, I would like to remind you: when swimming, water is easy to enter the middle ear through the nasopharynx, causing otitis media. It is best to take measures to avoid swallowing water into the mouth. When you wash your child's hair and bath, you should pay attention not to let the sewage enter the child's ears. If you accidentally enter it, you should help the child wipe it clean and keep the child's ears dry at all times.
