How to check if the baby has otitis media

Examination 1: blood routine examination. The white blood cell count and the proportion of polymorphonuclear cells increased.

Examination 2: audiogram is usually used to check the hearing of patients. Flat type is the typical curve of secretory otitis media. High negative type shows that tympanic pharyngeal tube is dysfunctional and some of them have tympanic effusion. If the hearing impairment is significant, auditory brainstem response and otoacoustic emission should be examined to determine whether it has an impact on the inner ear.

Examination 3: tympanic membrane examination: when patients with tympanic effusion, the tympanic membrane loses its normal luster, showing single yellow, orange red, oil bright or amber, light cone deformation or displacement, and patients with chronic secretory otitis media can show gray blue or milky white. Sometimes air bubbles can be seen through the tympanic membrane of the patient. After the eustachian tube is blown, the air bubbles can increase, and the tympanic membrane activity is limited by the tympanic otoscopy.

matters needing attention

This disease needs attention: swimming. When swimming, water will enter the ear from the external auditory canal, but if there is no hole in the tympanic membrane, water will not enter the middle ear from the external ear. However, if there are many people in the swimming pool and the cleaning and sanitation are not in place, the bacteria or disinfectants in the water will enter the body through the nose and mouth of the child, causing a cold and otitis media.
