Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a fever, coughed, and had a very small amount of nasal discharge. Later, I suddenly complained of ear pain, and after a long time, it seemed that pus was leaking from my ear. Last night, I also said my neck was very painful. Now I noticed that there is blood-tinged fluid in my ear.Previous treatment and effectiveness: I have taken antibiotics and ear drops. I want to know if otitis media can cause blood-tinged fluid to leak?
Doctor's answer:
Otitis media is mainly caused by inflammation in the nasopharynx leading to eustachian tube obstruction, such as colds, acute and chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc. Initially, it may feel like hearing is not very clear, causing a sense of inconvenience in communication, and then it may gradually improve, or even lead to ear pain and bleeding. Treatment should identify the cause of the ear injury, as ear injury is merely a symptom. The underlying condition should be treated, so I recommend you go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital for diagnosis. Children are threatened by otitis media, so mothers must take their children to see a doctor immediately to avoid various misunderstandings and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is important to provide children with enough care and attention, and to do their best to help them receive timely treatment for the disease.
