Initial symptoms of otitis media

summary

In the past six months, he has always been listless and has a poor appetite. In addition, he said that sometimes his ears can't hear anything, and his hearing loss is particularly severe. Later, he took him to the hospital for examination and was finally diagnosed as chronic otitis media. The doctor has been much better after treatment. I'd like to share my experience with you about the initial symptoms of otitis media

Initial symptoms of otitis media

Symptom 1: the most common symptom of otitis media is stuffy feeling in the ear, accompanied by hearing loss and tinnitus. Often occurs after a cold, or occurs unconsciously. Sometimes the change of head position can improve hearing. There was an enhancement of hearing. Some patients had mild ear pain.

Symptom 2: earache: acute patients may have dull earache, which is often the first symptom of patients. It can be persistent or painful. Chronic ear pain is not obvious. This disease is often accompanied by ear occlusion or stuffy feeling, which can be relieved temporarily after pressing the tragus.

Symptom 3: tinnitus: mostly low-key intermittent, such as "crackle" sound, buzzing and running water sound. When the head moves or yawns or blows the nose, the air over water sound may appear in the ear.

matters needing attention

I also want to emphasize: if it is acute otitis media, antibiotics and corticosteroids can be used to promote the regression of mucosal edema, so as to prevent the organized adhesion of tympanic effusion. In addition, if the child has otitis media pain, you can use hot compress to relieve the pain. Use hot water bag to pack hot water and put it on the side of the child's pain area.
