Patient's question:
Sometimes the ear leaks fluid (it feels like earwax is dripping out like water), excessive earwax; sometimes the ear hurts, sometimes the head is tilted, there is something moving in the ear; Note: Since childhood, the nose often gets blocked when it's cold. In the past year, I started exercising, and the condition of the nose has improved.Doctor's answer:
Disease Name: Chronic Suppurative Otitis MediaAcute otitis media that does not heal promptly can develop into chronic otitis media, leading to ossicular chain destruction, hearing loss, and severe complications.
Etiology: Most cases result from inadequate or incomplete treatment of acute suppurative otitis media, with necrotic otitis media lesions extending to the tympanic membrane and bone. Long-term obstruction or dysfunction of the eustachian tube is also a contributing factor.
Treatment Suggestions:
The principle of treatment is to eliminate the cause, control infection, ensure proper drainage, completely clear the lesion, prevent and treat complications, and restore hearing.
(1) Etiological Treatment: Actively treat upper respiratory tract lesions, such as chronic sinusitis and chronic tonsillitis.
(2) Local Treatment: Local treatment includes pharmacological and surgical approaches. Different methods are adopted based on the type.
1. Simple Type: Primarily involves local medication. Once discharge stops and the ear is completely dry, the perforation may heal spontaneously. If the perforation does not heal, myringoplasty or tympanoplasty may be performed.
