What to do if my ear is scratched and water is flowing

Ears are one of the five senses that we cannot ignore. Some people like to pick their ears, but what should they do if their ears are broken and water flows out? There is a protective film on the ear epidermis, which protects the ear from harm. If you pick it for no reason, the protective film will be easily damaged, causing bacterial infection, and water leakage means that there is a problem. At this time, you should pay attention to cleaning the inside and outside of your ears, choose anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, and never pick your ears again.

Steps/Methods:

1. In fact, many people in our lives usually have some bad habits, that is, they often pick their ears. If we are not careful, it can easily cause a lot of damage. Even the tools used to pick the ears may carry various germs and enter the ears, causing various fungal infections.

2. If the ear is infected by fungus and causes a lot of water to flow, you should go to the hospital for examination. This may be fungal otitis externa. Clean the external auditory canal secretions every day and apply antifungal drugs. Be careful not to apply too thickly. Pay attention to the external auditory canal to prevent water from entering. If water enters, wipe it clean with a cotton swab in time, avoid heat, keep the external auditory canal dry, and avoid recurrence.

3. If you have otitis externa, you should not touch water, and should not come into contact with wastewater from washing your hair or swimming. If there is purulent secretion in the ear, you can use hydrogen peroxide to clean it. Pay attention to hygiene and do not pick your ears with your hands or dirty objects. If there is foreign matter or secretion in the ear, you should go to the hospital in time. Do not remove it by yourself to avoid damaging the ear canal or eardrum and causing infection.

Note:

Pay attention to your diet and don’t eat spicy or irritating foods, such as seafood. Pay attention to rest and avoid adverse stimulation such as tobacco and alcohol. It is best not to press on the affected ear when sleeping. If the condition is serious, it is best to go to a regular hospital for treatment.
