Pharyngitis eustachian tube infection symptoms?
summary
Eustachian tube is a pipe connecting the tympanic cavity and nasopharynx. Its main physiological function is to maintain the pressure balance inside and outside the middle ear. Our eustachian tube is generally closed. When people swallow, yawn and sneeze, the eustachian tube opens. It is used to regulate the pressure in the middle ear cavity and keep the balance with the external atmosphere, so as to ensure the normal activity of the middle ear sound transmission device. Pharyngitis eustachian tube infection symptoms? Let's talk about it
Pharyngitis eustachian tube infection symptoms?
The swelling of eustachian tube caused by inflammation leads to the blockage of the lumen. The external air cannot enter the middle ear cavity. The original air in the cavity is absorbed and gradually forms a relative negative pressure, which causes the venous dilatation, congestion and permeability enhancement of the middle ear mucosa, and produces liquid, leading to the occurrence of otitis media.
Eustachian tube inflammation is often a common cold complication, its main symptoms are hearing loss, tinnitus, ear pain. When yawning, sneezing or changing nose, the eustachian tube (that is, a narrow tube connecting the middle ear tympanum and nasopharynx) is temporarily opened, and the symptoms are improved for a moment. The otodynia and hearing loss can be felt by the patient first
The correct way to use medicine is to take a sitting position and point the medicine with your head up, so as to make it flow to the opening of eustachian tube in nasopharynx, so as to make the mucosal edema of eustachian tube subside. If the eustachian tube is unobstructed, the secretion in the tympanic cavity of middle ear can be drained quickly, which is conducive to the regression of eustachian tube inflammation
matters needing attention
Pay attention to rest and keep the nasal cavity unobstructed. After swimming ashore, side head single foot beat, let the water out of the ear, it is best to use a cotton swab to absorb water. Eat more fresh vegetables, such as celery, Luffa, eggplant, shepherd's purse, Artemisia, cucumber, balsam pear and so on.
