Patient's question:
I have developed otitis externa, and my ear is extremely uncomfortable. In short, it's very painful, and it's been like this for several days. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and they prescribed medication, but my ear won't heal quickly either. I'm very worried about my ear. Can otitis externa cause deafness?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, otitis externa will never cause epilepsy to recur, so there is no need to worry or fear. It is best to conduct bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing on the ear canal discharge. Based on the test results, take sensitive drugs to promote gradual recovery. Additionally, during daily life, do not randomly dig the ear canal skin to avoid repeated inflammation and hinder gradual recovery and healing.
