summary

Otitis externa will have a great impact on the life of patients. After some patients get sick, they will even have fever, and the ear will also have special pain. Many patients hope to cure the disease as soon as possible. What are the symptoms of fungal otitis externa? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Symptoms of fungal otitis externa?

First: early ear itching or itching and stuffy feeling, a small amount of water secretion. If inflammation causes the epithelium and mycelium to form scab together, blocking the external auditory canal or covering the surface of tympanic membrane, hearing loss and tinnitus may occur.

Second: if there is bacterial infection, it can cause external auditory canal swelling, pain and pus. During the examination, white, gray, yellow or smoky gray moldy coating was found in the deep part of the external auditory canal, which was like a film or vermicelli, very likely to be moldy.

Third: remove the coating, visible external auditory canal skin congestion swelling, surface mild erosion or a small amount of bleeding. Put the moldy moss on the slide, add a little 10% potassium hydroxide solution, cover it properly and heat it properly. If mycelium or spore can be seen under the microscope, the diagnosis can be made.

matters needing attention

1. If you are sick in winter, you can plug a loose cotton ball at the mouth of the external auditory canal to keep a certain humidity. 2. Keep the external auditory canal dry and clean. When wiping away the filth, do not rub it rudely or repeatedly. 3. In the early stage of the disease or when the furuncle is immature, hot compress can be applied outside the ear. Three to four times a day.
