Patient's question:
Thirteen years ago, I first noticed that I had an acoustic neuroma in my ear. Until now, I have never done anything about it. But recently, I feel that my ear seems to be swollen, and sometimes it hurts very much during the day. However, this condition does not last very long. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If the ear reappears with a cholesteatoma, surgery is generally required to remove it. If there is redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the wound again, it is generally considered that the wound may be recovering poorly. Physiological saline can be used for cleaning, povidone-iodine for local sterilization, and oral antibiotics for supportive treatment. It is also important to pay attention to enhancing nutrition.
